15 for me, none in recent years and a couple I've never really heard of before, the Plume of Feathers in Greenwich and the White Swan in Twickenham.
Only 5 I can definitely remember, but there are several that seem vaguely familiar.
'And where he supped the past lived still. And where he sipped the glass brimmed full' John Barleycorn, Carol Ann Duffy.
It used to be listed on the old Young's pub lists as being in Mayfair. I've a feeling that back in the early to mid seventies it was the only Young's pub in the West End.I'm pretty sure I've been in The Guinea as well, but can't really remember it.
12 for me that I can remember .....
"Good people drink good beer" Hunter S Thompson
17 for me, a mixed bunch, good and bad, and they don't come much worse than The Old Bull & Bush.

All but the Old Bull & Bush, I think, although The Spaniards and White Swan were visited before I started reviewing.
Londons best beer gardens.
Only managed 7 of these pubs across all 4 regions, and not necessarily been in the gardens.

From The Grauniad:https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2...ng-walks-in-uk. Haven't done any of the walks,as described, but I've attended 6 of the pubs over the years,including The Wallace Arms in about 1975 or 76. A very rare outlet for cask in those parts then.(Theakstone's I should think, might have been Camerons.)
"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.
A big fat zero.
