Essential Local London Pubs

No Porterhouse on that list? S to the werve!

My family are Bow/Bethnal Green born & raised, but I was raised in the sticks 😆 Lived in the smoke for the last 15 years though.

Smallman1 I think Si means London chief.

Maybe that’s what he meant, but he specifically said “the land of the cockneys” - which wasn’t the entirety of London.

Lol.

Never change, shugsy!

Smallman1

Ok chief, I think I’ll just leave it!

Smallman1

Does like to get into the weeds does Hugo, god bless him!

Millsy

In BizTrAnz speak, Hugo loves to deep dive while the rest of us use a more agile methodology.

Smallman1

Not sure how much I’d want to stir fry some blue sky ideas in a big picture mind wok with Hugo I must say.

Millsy

Smallman1 going down the break out room lists for the Myers Briggs session to see Hugo is in the same room as you. Immediately bursting into tears and saying you’ve got Covid.

Picture hugo in the middle of a 6 hour digweed lesson, uncle john absolutely blowing everyone’s heads off with those power prog barnstormers that only he seems to find and hugo is going absolutely radio rental on the dancefloor because the half his best mate conrad has just bitten off for him is more like 4/10ths.

“You said you were giving me half, conrad, you rotter!”

I think everyone’s going to have to dig pretty deep in to their memory banks to picture John doing such a thing.

Do people really do halfs, or is it a London ‘ting?

Seems like being granted a ‘backstage pass’ that only permits entry up to the first knuckle.

Smallman1

Lol.

Did Myers Briggs a while back, can’t remember my exact profile but it was basically akin to a high achieving Alpha.

Once myers briggs is over its off to the outdoor activity IN THE SAME BREAK OUT GROUPS! FML! 5x bamboo canes, some string, elastic bands and you have to move some ‘toxic waste’. Hugo has been made team leader. He’s brought a clip board and is still annoyed someone put his stapler in some jelly.

Smallman1 The French House is an awful, awful boozer. The Harp at number 7 is practically a tap room - terrific boozer. Bit busy for an old cunt like me mind.

RichM

Doesn’t include The Hamilton Hall at Liverpool
st!! What a shit list this is

Also Bow Bells is a shit pub

Along_the_Wire

RichM I think excluding Weatherspoons pubs is deliberate.

ScottBailey

RichM Also Bow Bells is a shit pub

Correct answer. The Salmon (Salmon & Ball) up the road is better.

The article says essential london pubs not god awful ones.

ScottBailey The Salmon (Salmon & Ball) up the road is better.

Proper boozer!

ScottBailey

Used to like the Trafalgar on King’s Rd too. Shame that went!

Smallman1

The Landor on Landor Road is a terrific nuclear.

ScottBailey

Smallman1 should try the Fentiman Arms up the road if you haven’t already. Used to live round the corner and propped up the bar for many years. Decent beer garden in the summer too.
