    Six for me, but the latest one was 9 years ago.

    I make it 8 but looking at the pictures I agree with OldBoots and wish it was zero. Happily I've not been to any recently. Some qualification is required :-

    The Devonshire in Balham was the Duke of Devonshire and was one of the roughest Young's pubs in London.

    I knew the Owl & Pussycat in Shoredicth as a basic Free House.

    I knew the Hand of Glory in Hackney as a very basic Watney's pub called the Amhurst Arms. It was in Murder Mile and a right dodgy area. I don't think I actually had a real ale here.

    The Brewers Inn at Wandsworth was the Two Brewers and probably the largest Young's pub in Wandsworth. It was also a basic boozer.

    I knew the Lamb in Spitalfields as a Free House selling Young's Ordinary by the bucket load.

    It sounds to me like they've all been ruined.

    As far as Chelsea goes I've always agreed with Elvis Costello's song.

    Sounds dreadful. I can understand why you wouldn't want to go back there now.

    A slightly sadder list, http://spitalfieldslife.com/2018/11/...-pubs-crawl-o/ , I've been in the re- opened Well and Bucket a few times, and I've been in The Black Bull Whitechapel , but that's about it from memory.

    Most of these seem to be Watney or Truman outlets. I've definitely been in the Mackworth Arms as it was a Murphy's pub from which came the Godson brewery. The White Hart where 1 Mile End came from was the flagship Murphy pub.
    I'm pretty sure I also once went in the Grave Maurice (pronounced as in the lyrics of Joker by the Steve Miller band).
    There are a few others that vaguely ring a bell.
