Casual Good Beer Guide Pub Ticker since 1982. In 2023 I visited all 140 Kent pubs in that years 50th edition. I quite like a long walk too, normally to a pub. #Thames #Ridgeway #NorthDownsWay #GreensandWay #LondonUnderground

Only Connect need to stop bouncing the Wall all over the screen so that viewers actually have time to concentrate on it. It’s really not great if you have a sight impairment.

I doubt you were unlucky. Not sure I’ve visited this century actually. Good to see it back in the GBG though. There’s a good Warwick Avenue pub crawl to be done around that area. The Prince Albert is within walking distance, and the Carlton now.

There’s an episode of The Sweeney where it featured prominently if I remember correctly. Nice to see it as pub again after its Gordon Ramsey restaurant days. I need to go back here. A Bakerloo line walk in the new year then.

I agree with the sentiment but not the sentence. Ostracised from polite society would be perfectly adequate.

Another one on the “can’t believe you’ve never been in here before” list. Always worth a visit.
