Just uploaded to the Brewery History website, do you remember the Whitbread Weather Station? Visible to the right, it was a giant barometer and thermometer. It's the one thing I do remember of the...

Ahhh...thanks for that. I'm just outside the current cut-off of 56, but I'll get on the blower as soon as the threshold drops to 52/3.

The original instructions were that I'd be contacted. A friend who lives over the road from me (and is six months younger) has had her first jab. I live in a different borough from my GP and clinic,...

Nope. Me neither.



True.



Yes. They'll wriggle out of their liability wherever possible.

Really? I'm in my early 50s, live in very central/west London and haven't heard a dicky. Here's the Vaccine Calculator - when applied to me it gives a date between 28.3 and 8.4. :rolleyes:

You mean there are 'spoons with cleared tables? And there are the huge branches where it takes 20 minutes to change the barrels, which met my experience at The Coronet (JD Wetherspoon).



I'm...

Ditto.

Interesting history of the place here. There was evidence of its original name and use until mid-2014, but this too has now gone.
Glad I missed the Stargazy Pie.

Must be a catch somewhere...:rolleyes:

Oh so true.

...and of course the Turf Tavern.

Grave Maurice (the Kray's favourite pub -...

And in 1976 not staffed by the '...Tesco Value Danny Dyer' - oh for yesteryear...

...especially for David Cameron.;)

The pub was designed by the architect Sir Frederick Gibberd, architect of the Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ the King and the London Central Mosque.

Fitting, given just how many pubs now are betting shops.:(

Would make for a good mini-crawl when combined with The Pembury Tavern and The Cock Tavern.

The Festival Inn - photographed only. If I'd known it was Grade II-listed and had an interior of National Importance I'd have tried it out.

The Shakespeares Head

I've also been in the Samuel...

Passed last night - very attractive in Hackney Old Town Hall, which must be one of the country's smallest.

But does it qualify as a micropub?

This Vaccine Calculator has mine now pushed back to mid-May. London is going very slowly...

Smooth or crunchy?

Or in this instance, a case of levelling down. :whistle:

Apparently the obligation to buy food won't be reinstated.

My Irish friend who in normal times commutes for work between the two countries is nearly 52 and she's been summoned in London. Her father back in the Emerald Isle is 85 and he's not due to get it...

If Tokyo can hold the 2020 olympics in 2021 then we could hold the 10th anniversary crawl on the 11th year.



Yes. I think that leaping at pubs when they've barely opened could mean we find...
