As the Industrial Revolution changed the working habits of the people and attempted, in effect, to enslave them, the pub was where meetings of dissatisfied workers would take place. Thompson notes that underground societies were forced to move from pub to pub:
One debating society originated in the ‘Green Dragon’ in Cripplegate in 1795 and moved successively to Finsbury Square, Fetter Lane, the ‘Scouts Arms’ in Little Britain, thence to two public houses in Moorfields, and finally, in 1798, to Hoxton ‘beyond the limits of the city-officers’.
