However, as Todd and Terri begin their London visit today it's best to do this now, because... I have a hunch... that certain milestones and perhaps "records" may fall.
In true Olympic fashion, the "Gold" will be to finally reach 150 different pubs visited, and maybe raise the bar on a few records.
Most Pubs in a Day: 10 (during Sheila/Stephen's visit)
Most Pubs in a 2 Day Period: 16 (during Marty's visit)
As always, the comprehensive list can be viewed via the link on the right.
128. The Bear: (Oxshott) Large garden type neighbourhood “bar” that was nice enough, but no where near the traditional pubs that I prefer.
129. New Bowling Green: (Warwick) The original pub was quite cozy and homey with a nice fireplace and window booth. However, the expansion into a dining area gives it a more “gastro” feel. It’s very fitting there are two entrances for the two very different areas.
130. Crown & Castle: (Warwick) A traditional coach’s inn with a refurbished interior. Still maintained some its private booths, and had some nice regional ales. OK… not spectacular.
131. The Mudlark: A Nicholson’s pub in the shadow of Southwark Cathedral. The refit has it losing a lot of its traditional feel, but nice enough place for a pint.
132. Barrowboy and Banker: A Fuller’s Ale & Pie shop that follows their typical pattern. A refurbished bank building that has a very striking interior. Highlight of this one was its curved stairway leading to the balcony dining area.
133. Bag O’ Nails: Comfy little corner pub near the flat that has escaped my visit until now. Smallish bar area with booths and interesting light fixtures. Great name.
134. Ye Olde Rose & Crown: (Greenwich) A happy little place that was OK for a quick pint after finishing the hike up to the Royal Observatory. Something tells me this place is more fun in the evenings.
