Aiming to use every tube station and have a drink in the nearest pub…
Pinned
Ok, so the aim is to use every single tube station on the TFL map, (The Croydon tram can get fucked) whether I hit in or out and then visit the closest pub for a quick half. Unless I’ve miscounted there are 422 to visit. Here we go
388/422 Marylebone: Bakerloo Line. Oh what a glorious way to end the day, a shit station pub. In fairness I’ve had some decent ones, Waterloo and Paddington were both fine. This is rubbish with nothing to recommend it at all. I drink my last half and stagger into work. Half cider =£4.00 Rating 1/5

387/422 Edgware Road: Bakerloo Line. The most pubs I’ve done in a day is 8 but I don’t start work for another 90 mins and it’s still raining so I crack onto number 9. The Green Man is very quiet this close to Christmas but I quite like it. Although I am getting drunky. Half cider = £3.55 Rating 3/5

386/422 Warwick Avenue: Bakerloo Line. Today has been a cunt weather wise. I’m soaked and miserable as I walk into The Prince Alfred, but cheer right up when I see there is a 3 foot door you have to walk through that separates the main bar from the restaurant. Lovely!! Half cider £3.55 Rating 5/5

385/422 Maida Vale: Bakerloo Line. Maida Vale conjures up memories of listening to Radio One as Bruno Brooks announces Strawberry Switchblade playing in Maida Vale studios. The old lady at The Elgin who doesn’t know what to drink ruins my reminiscences. MAKE A DECISION! Half cider £3.40 Rating 2/5

384/422 Kilburn Park: Bakerloo Line. The station ticket booths have been turned into terrariums which is fun. Anyway, the Prince of Wales is a tatty but friendly Irish pub filled with locals watching the darts. It’s ok, they could dim the lights though. Bright as fuck. Half cider = £2.40 Rating 2/5

383/422 Kensal Green: Bakerloo/Lioness Line. Why the fuck did I eat a shit fish and chips in Paddington? Food at The Whippet Inn looks amazing and not too expensive. The staff are really friendly, it’s a great pub and the screen of a roaring fire does make me feel warmer! Half cider £3.30 Rating 4/5

382/422 Paddington: Elizabeth/Bakerloo/Circle/District/Ham&City Line. Ooh I’ve had fun on the Elizabeth Line. Trekking to Reading, a Holiday Inn at Heathrow T4, an awful pub in Southall…I finish off here with a pint and some fish and chips! Pint of cider = £7.00 Rating 2/5 ELIZABETH LINE COMPLETE

381/422 Whitechapel: Windrush/District/Elizabeth/Ham&City Line. The London Hospital Tavern was built so the builders could have a drink after work in the 1750’s. Then the hospital porters all started to come here. Now home to bored office workers. Half cider £3.00 Rating 3/5 WINDRUSH LINE COMPLETE!

380/422 Shoreditch High Street: Windrush Line. Most people think of the word ‘wanky’ when hearing Shoreditch, which is fair. Everyone looks like the sound guys from Toast of London. Having said that The Owl & The Pussycat is an excellent pub. Half cider £3.60 Rating 4/5 I can hear you Clem Fandango!

379/422 Hoxton: Windrush Line. It’s raining its cock off in Hoxton but I duck into the pub next door, The Hoxton Hound. It’s a craft beer pub and has the heating on full so I can dry off. The food looks amazing btw, but I only had breakfast an hour ago so I skip it. Half cider = £3.30 Rating 3/5

378/422 Caledonian Road & Barnsbury: Mildmay Line. The Mildmay goes from Richmond/Clapham in the South West all the way to Stratford in the East. And this is my last stop! Where better to finish than a weird brewery on an industrial estate. Classic. Half lager £3.34 Rating 2/5 MILDMAY LINE COMPLETE!

377/422 Camden Road: Mildmay Line. Fun fact: I was in here, in the Camden Road Arms, 33 steps from the station when I had the stupid idea to do this. Now I can’t afford to buy my kids Christmas presents so I’m tempted to burn it to the fucking ground. It is cool though. Half cider = £3.15 Rating 4/5

376/422 Kentish Town West: Mildmay Line. Next door to the station is this beer hall. I imagine it’s great fun with a load of mates in the evening, all getting drunk and singing shit songs on those long wooden tables like Viking’s. I’m on my own reading my book. Half lager = £3.75 Rating 3/5

375/422 Hampstead Heath: Mildmay Line. You know the country’s fucked when there’s a food bank in Hampstead. In other news if everyone that followed me donated about £18k I could afford to buy this £5.25m house. I’m sorting out a Justgiving in The Magdala which is lovely. Half cider £3.10 Rating 4/5

374/422 Finchley Road & Frognal: Mildmay Line. Finchley is tatty as fuck, but this has a bit more about it, probably cos we’re heading closer towards fancy Hampstead. Seems I’m doing a tour of all the Alice House’s! I imagine people who don’t like pubs like these places. Half cider £3.40 Rating 3/5

373/422 Brondesbury: Mildmay Line. The Brondes Age is a weird name until you say it aloud and realise it’s a shit pun. The fella cleaning outside ruins the photo but I can’t really ask him to move. The pub itself is all exposed brick work which sounds cooler than it is. Half cider = £2.50 Rating 2/5

372/422 Brondesbury Park: Mildmay Line. It’s a brisk 5 min walk to Alice House. Oh yeah, I was here a while ago when I did Queen’s Park. I was quite positive last time, but it’s a bit weird. I think I want a proper pub and this has more of a cafe vibe. S’alright though. Half cider = £3.40 Rating 3/5

Down to the last 50 tube stations. If everyone that sees this message can repost it, it would make absolutely fuck all difference to me or what I am doing. It wouldn’t help me in the slightest, either personally or financially so please don’t bother. Thanks

371/422 Brixton: Victoria Line. I used to live here. My housemate had false teeth and got upset when he bought a girl back and she didn’t want to see him again when he took them out like old man Steptoe. Not sure what he was expecting. Hi Chris! Prince of Wales is ok. Half cider = £3.00 Rating 2/5

370/422 Vauxhall: Victoria Line. I thought I’d be taking a trip to the famous Vauxhall Tavern but it doesn’t open till later so I go to The Riverside which is just by the side of river!! It’s a bog standard Youngs which seems familiar. Ahh, I was here for 26 Nine Elms! Half cider = £3.55 Rating 3/5

369/422 Pimlico: Victoria Line. I’ve said before that pubs with a black exterior are really uninviting. Not The Gallery, all fancy yellow and blue it’s a delight. It’s also really cosy with little sofas so in one corner it’s like being round your nans house. Half cider = £2.95 Rating 4/5

368/422 Haggerston: Windrush Line. Anyone who says they’ve heard of Haggerston is lying. Even if they live here. The Duke of Wellington was closed when I got here so I did loads more and then came back. It wasn’t worth the wait. The park outside the pub is busy though. Half cider = £3.00 Rating 2/5

367/422 Dalston Junction: Windrush Line. 2nd trip to Dalston this week, this time instead of Burkes it’s The Crown & Castle. Even if you ignore the woman on her own smashing down vodka after vodka it’s classier than Burke’s and it’s deffo the pub of choice if you’re here. Half cider £3.15 Rating 3/5

366/422 South Kensington: Picc/District/Circle Line. Two celeb spots I’ve had around here have been Nigel Havers and Peter Bowles. That’s how posh South Ken is. Neither are in the Hoop & Toy though. Bowles has the excuse that he’s dead, but come on Havers where are you? Half cider = £3.60 Rating 3/5

365/422 Gloucester Road: Piccadilly/District/Circle Line. Call me basic but I think the Greene King pubs are generally my favourite. Stanhope Arms isn’t pretentious - a big surprise in South Ken - and is just pretty welcoming. And they’ve gone to town on Christmas decs. Half cider £3.60 Rating 3/5
