It would seem that your Mom is correct, Rob, as far as the inner city areas are concerned.
Of course many families had large families and sometimes they just had to get out from being 'under each others feet' as they say. So the local 'rub a dub dub' (London slang) was a good place to go. Your friends were usually there, the place was warm -particularly in winter - a game of darts, cards or romance (licit or otherwise) so what more could they want.
Younger folks, it seems, ventured further afield to other entertainment venues.
The beer was cheap and had traditionally been considered more hygienic than some water supplies.
Those were the days before tv, coffee and fast food!!
