Looking at the list of pubs in that obit by his friend Mike, you'll have your work cut out devising the route: "Latterly his locals were around Walthamstow and Wanstead, the
George*, the Drum**, the William** and Rose and Crown**. Over the years they included the
Prince [actually Princess, it seems] Of Wales on Lea Bridge Road, the
Anchor and Hope, the
London Tavern (E5), the
Wheatsheaf (Borough Market), the
Windmill (Tabernacle St), the City Retreat (Darts)***, the
Angel (St Giles Circus), the Leopard***, and closer to home the
Cricketers in Woodford. Further afield they included the
Vaynol Arms in Nant Peris, and until lockdown most weeks he was to be seen at least once in the
Great Western at Wolverhampton, a strong candidate for his favourite pub of all."
* I presume the reference is to the Spoons in Wanstead.
** I don't know where these are - is it the
William the Fourth in Leyton (which he used to like but his last review expressed disappointment)?
The Drum (another 'Spoons) is also Leyton. The Rose and Crown can't be
this one in the Stow as his review was negative.
***No idea about these.
Grateful for any prompts for the others. I mean, Gann will be grateful!
