"At that moment I would have given a kingdom, not for champagne or hock and soda, or hot coffee but for a glass of beer" Marquess Curzon of Kedlestone, Viceroy of India.
Just two: The Flask and Grenadier.
Sounds like a load of poppycock.

Just the Buckingham and Star.
All except the Queen's Head which, as OB's review states, is a bit of a bugger to get to. I have discovered there is one sensible (if convoluted) bus connection giving pub time of 12.47 - 14.08 so might try and give it a go later in the year.
On leaving the bar, I felt a strong blow to the back of my head. Turning round, I discovered it was the pavement
I've used this list on the Londons Heritage Pubs thread, but it also needs to be on this one, Find A Heritage Pub this is set at within 25 miles of I guess central London and offers up 346 pubs of which I've currently done 108. It's a useful list that can be adapted to any area you wish to search.

Top 50 Gastropubs
Not my normal hangout places but I've managed 10% of the list, all London and not neccessarily in their current guise.
10 Red Lion & Sun
22 The Guinea
23 The Baring
33 The Bull & Last
47 The French House.
There is I just noticed another 50 on the next page I've yet to look at.
So... added another six.
53 The Camberwell Arms
59 The Drapers Arms
64 The Marksman
69 The Anchor & Hope
91 The Newbury
94 Dylans-Kings Arms.
Just the last two outside of London.
And finally there is a specialist section with just three pubs mentioned of which I've been to this one ...
The Victoria, I wonder if the beers improved?

0/100, for me. I don't know whether that's a good or a bad thing! However, my daughter was trying for months to get us to visit
(21)The Moorcock Inn. Unfortunately, it's just closed.
'And where he supped the past lived still. And where he sipped the glass brimmed full' John Barleycorn, Carol Ann Duffy.
Just six I think, which is a bit disappointing, I do like a good gastropub. And only actually eaten in one of them. Some others that are already on my list though, and maybe some more to add.
The Hand & Flowers
The Mariners
Hinds Head
The Wild Rabbit
The Woolpack
Dylans Kings Arms
16 for me, all the ones in London north of the Thames:
Red Lion & Sun
Harwood Arms
Baring
Guinea Grill
Bull & Last
French House
Eagle
Cadogan Arms
Drapers Arms
Marksman
Anchor & Hope
Cross Keys
Tamil Prince
Audley
Clarence
Pelican
The only ones I'd bother making a return visit to are:
The Audley
The Guinea
The Drapers Arms
The Marksman
The interior (see website) for the Cadogan Arms is now absolutely hideous.
