    Though I very much doubt that more pubs were built from 1945 to 1985 than at any other time. Still, an interesting list.
    I've been in two,Shakespears Head in Leicester and the Burger King in Leicester Square back when it was a pub in the 1970's .

    A possible (or even probable) one for me is the Shakespeare's Head by Sadler's Wells. I've definitely been in the Harlequin and Old Red Lion nearby. It would have been the 1970s so it was even more modern then.
    I can't imagine that fact is true. I can't think of many pubs from that era in East London, most of them are before WWI. Most of the ones I can think of have gone.
    New housing estates never had a pub on just about every street corner like in Victorian times.

    Just the Shakespeare's Head, EC1 for me. With all the NuMarston's pubs that seem to spring up at every new, large housing estate, I do wonder how architecturally important they will be classed in 50-odd years, despite their sameness. I also wonder whether Dunstable's Windsock would have made this list had it survived.

    A nice pic here, including appropriate cars parked outside. A Triumph 2000 and Morris 1100?

    I wonder what it was like inside. Presumably the windows curved upwards if you were sat at the right-hand end of the room as viewed here. Must have instilled a certain queasiness once you were a few pints in.

    I had already planned a trip to Scunthorpe (yes, I know) when this was posted, so I went in the Queen Bess yesterday. Photos and review soon, now that the site is working again.

    What a remarkable pub! There's some footage from inside and around the pub in this video (you can skip the first 45 seconds):
