What a rubbish list, they are all in London and I would put the Hamilton Hall and Metropolitan ahead of the Victoria JDW. That's the only one I've been to and I've only once had a beer there. Last time I went was when the Willow Walk was closed. I got through 5 cups of coffee under the JDW free refill before 14:00 scheme. I once saw a bloke there drinking bottles of Newcastle Brown with large whisky chasers at 08:00 on a Saturday morning.

None of these, with the exception of http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/15622/ but this was so long ago, I thought, on driving through the village that it was on the other side of the road. I was probably under drinking age as well.

Only one that I've been in is The Boathouse and that was years ago
I drink to make others more interesting
I got to four then gave up when I found three Rose & Crowns listed on the site for St Albans. I'm sure there are further problems as some are just given the address London. The Duke Of Wellington at Twyford is one of the original Brakspear houses.
I'm pleased that I've not been to any of the Sports Bar contenders. I'm assuming that the Greenwood in London is NOT the new Northolt Spoons!
Four of the beer pubs, not Temple Brew or the Drawing Board, otherwise just The Harlequin in Sheffield (but not for cider), the Rose & Crown in St Albans (in 1980) and Pleased to Meet You in Newcastle (for a wedding reception last year). I suspect the Durham Ox in York is actually the one in Crayke rather a long way from York, I haven't been in but I know it's more of a restaurant than anything else.
I have done 3 , We Three Loggerheads , Boathouse and the Crown At Woolhope all years ago , only the Crown being memorable , proper ancient country pub , think i still have the lumps on my head from the bloody low beams
Theres a Man with a Mullet going Mad with a Mallet in Millets !
What a strange (unthought through list)
I've done the following
Temple Brewhouse- very good
Wenlock Arms - excellent
Star Inn - good
Fox and Hounds (assuming the Caversham one) - very good
Snow Goose - what a laugh, this place is a dump
Red Lion and Sun - passable but nothing special
so that's six, I have photographed the Rose and Crown St Albans but didn't go in.
