London Is Closing Its Historic Pubs

London Is Closing Its Historic Pubs is the satirical observation of the specific London cultural emergency in which the historic pubs are closing at the rate of fifteen per day with the specific London quality of the city that discovers the cultural institution's value at the moment of its closure and that converts the closed pub into the flat that nobody can afford to live in.

What This Reveals About Britain

What London closing its historic pubs reveals about the relationship between the pub as cultural institution and the property development that the pub is being converted into: the city that closes the historic pub has the specific cultural quality of the institution that values the pub most at the moment of its conversion to the unaffordable flat.

The Satirical Conclusion

London Is Closing Its Historic Pubs is the pub culture's most specifically closure-as-cultural-discovery flat-conversion: the closure is the rate of fifteen daily, the conversion is the flat, and the discovery is the moment of the cultural loss. The pubs closed. The flats were built. The cultural loss was discovered at the moment of the closure.
