22/100 for me (or 23/103 if you count the 'specialist' ones); my numbers being boosted by the fact that it's very London and Home Counties-biased.Originally Posted by Mobyduck

At least 30/100, although I really CBA to check in detail, and nearly all of those were before 'Gastropubs' were a thing (and pub interiors weren't in 50 shades of grey).
On leaving the bar, I felt a strong blow to the back of my head. Turning round, I discovered it was the pavement
A good cask beer focused list of London based outlets by venue type.
I've visited 25 overall.

Just the four for me (Harp, Sussex Arms. Cask, Stormbird). Perusing the list brought back a few memories. Must be due a visit to that there London.

Just the Harp and the Royal Oak, and may be the Lyric sometime in the last fifty years. We only live an hour and a quarter from Town, but my tolerance of the place decreases year on year.

Bring your wallet.It's a lot cheaper if you stick to the traditional boozer-type alehouse pub on that list, for example; a hell of a lot cheaper than that Hogwarts place we visited in Preston. It will get very expensive if going to pub chains like Fuller's or Young's. And avoid Hackney, probably the most expensive place in London to drink, Cock and Chesham excepted. 'Craft' will always add more than £1 a pint over the cask versions too.
Otherwise, 13 on the list, all traditional alehouse boozers. Off to the Harp in a few minutes...
Been to 4 of the breweries
2 of the 18 micropubs
24 of the 25 pubs
Don't think the Earl of Essex is a cask mecca.
