“…Moreover, factors like the progressive decrease of alcohol prices sold in supermarkets and offlicense retailers (Smith and Foxcroft, 2009); the raise of European style-cafes (Lincoln, 2006); and the growth of home entertainment (e.g. game-consoles, high-definition TVs and home-theatre sound systems) all contributed to making pub nights less attractive (Pratten, 2007), pushing many pub-goers to reduce their visits and move them mainly during weekends (Mount & Cabras, 2016).…”

“…In the United Kingdom (UK hereafter), public houses or 'pubs' provide important places for social aggregation, offering physical settings for many types of communal activities (Maye et al, 2005;Mount & Cabras, 2016). Several recent studies confirm the positive impact of pubs as third places on local communities (Bowler & Everitt, 1999;Cabras & Mount, 2017;Maye et al, 2005;Mount & Cabras, 2016), and this impact on community cohesion appears to be greater than other third place including community halls, village shops, post offices and libraries (Cabras & Lau, 2019). Any decline in the number of pubs, therefore, represents a potential threat to the cohesion and attractiveness of a community.…”

This paper examines the relationship between public houses or 'pubs' and house prices in Great Britain. Using a unique dataset, comprising statistical indicators for 373 local authorities registered between 2005 and 2015, the authors investigate this relationship from a panel data perspective. The analysis identifies a strong positive association between an increase in the number of pubs and house prices, showing different patterns with regard to pubs located in urban, suburban and rural areas. Results offer an original contribution to the literature related to the economic value of pubs as important third places in Great Britain, providing the basis for potential policy choices aimed at supporting community investment.

“…Mount and Cabras () elaborate on the impact of local cafés on village societies as places that create a sense of belonging and stimulate social cohesion among villagers. In rural areas, cafés are important centers for social involvement, especially if there are no alternative facilities with a social function (Hunt and Satterlee ).…”

Economies of scale and increased mobility have led to the closure of many village facilities. Most residents do not rely on locally available facilities anymore for their primary function. However, facilities are also meeting places. A decline in facilities may therefore negatively influence residents' social place attachment. This article examines which facilities impact residents' social place attachment. It also explores whether different facilities impact the social place attachment of different groups of residents differently. In our analyses, we make a distinction between rural areas near and away from urban areas. Based on structural equation modeling, we conclude that in rural areas, both near and away from cities, cafés and supermarkets may well matter for residents' social attachment. In contrast to common expectations, community centers, primary schools, and sports facilities were not shown to enhance social place attachment. Considering the increasing self‐reliance of local communities, these findings raise doubts about the use of public services to revitalize local communities.

“…While much student drinking takes place in halls of residence, off-campus mixed-occupancy houses and commercial drinking venues such as pubs, bars and clubs aimed at students (Kypri et al, 2010), contacts with non-student drinkers are, perhaps, increasingly exceptional. Thus, while the pub has been shown to play an important role in sustaining local communities through providing spaces of social interaction (Mount and Cabras, 2016), the growth of 'student-enclaves' consisting of exclusionary 'student-only' residential and leisure spaces (Smith and Hubbard, 2014) means that in some areas of British cities there is resentment amongst some local residents towards students with much of this tension focusing on noise and nuisance caused by student drinking (Sage et al, 2012).…”

While the increased scale and importance of international students to the UK Higher Education sector is now well established, little is known about the ways in which students from non-UK countries experience and interact with the heavy drinking culture that predominates on and near many British universities. Drawing on qualitative interviews, this article analyses the perceptions, attitudes and experiences of British drinking cultures held by international students studying on postgraduate courses at a UK university. Students report prior awareness of alcohol consumption being important to British culture and recount both positive and negative experiences of witnessing and, for many, participating in drinking alcohol. Students make ready comparisons with the drinking habits and attitudes of their own culture. Further still, many made a distinction between the public house, or 'pub', as a welcoming and friendly social space and bars and nightclubs where a far greater risk of exposure to violence and harassment was perceived. The article provides theoretical insights to support future and more wide-ranging research into mobile drinking cultures and also suggests practical implications to inform stakeholders with interests in the welfare of international students in the UK in relation to the provision of effective and proactive policies which address the impact of British drinking cultures on international student integration and wellbeing.
