Publicity - London By Pub

Publicity - London By Pub Trailer

Andy Meddick Season 1

Ever traveled only to realize you walked past everything that mattered? Hosted by British expat Andy from Miami alongside an American traveler and a London local, Publicity explores London's neighborhoods through their historic pubs - not as drinking destinations, but as silent witnesses to the culture, revolutions, and stories that shaped each area. 

With a balanced perspective added by two co-hosts – an American traveler, and a London local, and through conversations with architects, historians, interior designers, publicans, and local travel guides, the show uses pubs as decoder rings to help you actually experience London's neighborhoods rather than just recognize them. 

Whether you're planning your first trip or your fiftieth, Publicity helps you avoid coming home with a suitcase full of FOMO and regrets, ensuring you remember what you felt and contributed to these living, breathing communities. 

Why do we travel? To escape and feel… something? To travel is to sense you're part of a bigger story. To connect. To belong. Even if it's temporary.

London - layered, contradictory - an experience easy to miss. 

You walk the same streets as royals, rebels, poets and punks. Buildings with centuries in their bones leaning against modern glass and steel towers. 

Do you even remember what you saw?

Last October, I walked the King's Road in Chelsea. Perfect autumn morning. Designer boutiques. Handsome pubs. I sat in a park. Fed the pigeons. Enjoyed a coffee. I was happy I'd finally "done" Chelsea.

Back in Miami, I'm watching a YouTube video about that exact street. And I realize… 

I walked straight past the pub where the Rolling Stones auditioned Bill Wyman. Where Mary Quant debuted the miniskirt. Where Vivienne Westwood dragged punk onto the High Street. Blue plaques whispering stories from walls I never looked up at. 

I flew 3,000 miles. And experienced… nothing. 

That expensive, avoidable frustration? Travel FOMO.  It's why this show exists.

I'm Andy. British Expat in Miami. Your main host, joined by an American traveler and a London local. Three balanced perspectives. 

This is not a pub crawl show. It's a travel show where pubs are the anchors—silent witnesses to their neighborhoods. 

[MUSIC – PAUSE 3]

In the UK, pubs are the nation's living room, boardroom, and event space. Where stories live, communities gather, and change leaves fingerprints. 

Pubs are our decoder ring for understanding the culture, the revolutions, the identity. Each of our episodes explores a neighborhood, or a theme connecting stories to streets. We’ll have interviews with Architects, Historians, Interior Designers, Travel Guides, and Publicans. When you plan your UK travel using Publicity, you won’t just recognize the place… You’ll experience it. 

[MUSIC – PAUSE 4]

And then maybe you won’t return home with a suitcase full of FOMO and regrets. You’ll remember what you felt, and what you contributed – your chapter added to the story of these neighborhoods.
