The link I have displayed is a YouTube link to a TV show entitled "Britain's Toughest Pubs". The short exert of the show focuses on a pub called the Tavern on the Hill in Walthamstow, explaining the characteristics of the pub itself as well as the clientele, with a few anecdotes from times gone by thrown in for good measure.
Pubs as such are very common in a number of areas and seem to pride themselves on their tough reputation.
It's easy to reach the conclusion that an exclusive demographic is associate with establishments such as this pub, for example big men, covered in tattoos, shaved heads who have a cockney twang that would put Ray Winstone to shame. It occurred to me that weather a video such as this could serve as evidence that the overall characteristics of a pub and the clientele it attracts reflects social and economic structures that exist in the community to which it is situated.
It would be interesting to investigate weather gentrification of certain housing communities is accompanied with gentrification of pubs and how this could effect clientele, business and overall environments of pubs.
