This Saturday Alefinder are performing a Wetherspoon’s Pub Crawl in London. The plan is to visit 12 pubs between 12 noon and 10pm. We start at the Lord Moon of the Mall (Whitehall) at noon – and end at Hamilton Hall (Liverpool St.) at 10pm. Here is a run down of the pubs:
noon – Lord Moon of the [...]
So. The trAle is going to be on 20th June for one day. The ‘whole weekend’ idea has been canned as the Sunday is Fathers Day!
There will be 10 to 12 pubs. The route is still under discussion but the definite start is Lord Moon of the Mall in Whitehall. If you are coming, please [...]
This was a relatively new discovery to us, but the Castle has a really good selection of ales – roughly 8 on the night we visited, but usually a bit less because it seems to go quickly. Apart from one seriously dodgy pint – which was happily, if suspiciously changed – the beers are excellent. [...]
55 Britton Street, Clerkenwell, London, EC1M 5UQ (map)
Having enjoyed quite a few bottled ales from the St. Peter’s brewery, I thought that we’d try their only pub – The Jerusalem Tavern. The building dates back to 1720, was a clock shop, and has been cleverly restored so that you wouldn’t know you were in 21st century if it wasn’t [...]
9 Stoney Street, London, SE1 9AA (map)
This my favourite pub for finding ales. They usually have 9 ales on (8 guests and Harvey’s) that they shift pretty quickly, so I’ve never had a bad pint in there either. If you head there for ales, you won’t be alone, there’s always someone in there taking notes [...]
47 Chandos Place, WC2 4HS, UK (map)
Thankfully this isn’t really an Irish pub – as the name would imply. The Harp is definitely a great find for central London, it’s pretty quiet and has plenty of ales. They usually have Harvey’s Sussex Bitter (ABV: 4.0%) and several other guest beers. There’s also suicide door for you as [...]
16 Tysoe Street, Clerkenwell, EC1R 4RQ, UK (map)
This was a surprise, and they had a couple of fantastic ales (Sharp’s Doom Bar (ABV: 4.0%) being the tastiest). It’s not your average looking pub, in fact the interior is relatively trendy and makes it seem like you are only going to be able to get generic euro-lagers. [...]
