    I know the area reasonably well, starts with the awful Imperial Arms and Lille Langtry, then not much on North End Road until the half-decent Cumberland Arms at the top.

    Why would anyone accept such a mission rp?

    The Atlas, just off Lillie Rd, has had something worthwhile on one of the 3 pumps on my couple of visits and does good food, albeit at gastro prices. I once had a decent Doombar at the Prince of Wales.
    West Brompton is just 8mins overhead to Clapham Junction & the Falcon, or connections to points West...

    Yeah, I've done a few around there and agree the Atlas is ok. Lillie Langtry was my least favourite and the Prince of Wales is also nice, but the food is bad and overpriced.

    The worst Crawl I done was a few Years Ago from The Crown & Anchor at Fore Street Edmonton too The Golden Hive at Green Street Brimsdown I Only found One Pub selling Real Ale and that was the Picture Palace the Wetherspoons at Ponders End High St.

    Just to fit in with Millay's Liverpool thread, one of the worst crawls ever is up London Rd in LIverpool (turn right out the front of Lime St then third right). Start at the Lord Warden, then the Picture House, Dixie Deans, Durty Nellies, Royal George and the Post Office, possibly the Dart & Shamrock if it's still open. No decent beer, largely characterless pubs and dodgy customers - enjoy

    I do concur. Having worked in the town for 6 years, I know of no decent pubs in Bridgwater.
