I love this Michael!! I lived in London for 12 years and I never visited any of these pubs - at least I have a good reason to go back now!

I'll meet you for a pint!

I don't drink, but I would love to go the Sherlock Holmes Pub just for the aesthetic. Thank you for sharing these fun pictures of your pub crawl in London!

Love it!

I haven't been to any but they sure looking inviting.

The last one could work well with The Mad Hatter Hitel that also uses Alice as a theme.

Curious though. Do you ever feel out of place trying to take the best shot?

Michael Jensen's avatar

Thanks, Laura. As for feeling out of place, Oh, absolutely! But I no longer care. LOL

Amazing!!!! I may have to take up drinking! 😅

Michael Jensen's avatar

Well, if you’re looking for an excuse!

Gorgeous photos, Michael - and now you've made me want a cider too...

Just as well my husband brews our own - 5 gallons at a time 🤩🥳

Love to see your take on the pubs of York, Newcastle (upon Tyne) and Edinburgh next, and if you make it this far North you have to try Colman's fish and chips. Probably the best you will ever taste...

Oooh, good tip about the fish and chips. And would LOVE to see those pubs. There are a lot of things I like about England, but the pubs might just be the best!

man some of these are wild! Have you tried the cask ale at all??

Related to the comment you left on the TMT...in the first picture of the Old Bank of England pub, on the sign outside it says McMullen at the top - that's one way to see if a pub is a tied house or a free house.

Michael Jensen's avatar

Mmmm, I'm not really an ale guy, so no, I haven't tried it. Sorry! Thanks for the tip about how to tell if a pub is tied or free. I hadn't known that.

Skylar Renslow's avatar

Oh it's not really a bad thing or a good thing (tied houses can be well managed too!) but just an interesting fun (?) fact haha

OMGGGorgeous!

Oh this sounds like just the ticket right now!!!

Feel free to pound a beer or ten on my behalf.

Michael Jensen's avatar

Well, if you say so!

GLORIOUS! What fantastic photos!

During our recent trip to London, we ate in two pubs — one in the West End and one near Highgate Cemetery. They weren't as photogenic as these, but had the BEST fish and chips in both places. So much fun.

We went looking for fish and chips yesterday in Bath, but came empty-handed. Oh, well!
