This one looks rather familiar, so I suspect we've had it before. Just three definites for me, though there are few more I have vague memories of visiting, years ago.Originally Posted by Mobyduck

Another list, and everyone's favourite category and location!
Only five of those which doesn't really suprise me.

7/10. Just missing the Cadogan Arms, the Camberwell Arms, and the Harwood Arms, the latter of which seems to appear on all these London lists.

Happily, I too am a Factory completist for this list.
The Cadogan used to be a great boozer in the mid-'80s and was just about ok at the time of my visit. Since then, it has been transformed into some hideously vulgar venue resembling Liberace's bathroom, presumably aimed at Russian oligarchs. The Harwood is essentially just a restaurant (which smells of mint sauce) with little and cramped drinking at the bar.
I've not been to the Camberwell Arms, on account of never having been to Camberwell, but the website gives the impression that it's just a restaurant, probably with similar drinking arrangements to the Harwood.
8/12, including some of my favourite pubs anywhere
I've been in 5 and managed to avoid eating in any of them.
