Undocumented
The following is a list of pubs which have been visited, but don't
yet feature in a tour. Probably due to laziness.
Wallington, Beddington, Carshalton
Intended to do all 3 with Iain - got stuck in the closest to Croydon
(Beddington), watching Euro 2004. Good pub.
The other two are about 10 mins walk apart, near Carshalton - I visited
with Matt when I was off the beer, which isn't ideal circumstances. The
Greyhound looks twee, near the Duck-pond, but I found it exuded an
atmosphere of grim menace. Duke's Head is better, hotel type pub with
lots of tankards. I drank coffee in that one.
Founder's Arms, South Bank
This is the pub just before the Tate Modern. I visited it on the 31st
August accompanied by m'colleague Lucy. She was suffering with
walking-around-London-all-day legs. The pangs of guilt over
'suggesting' (insisting on) scenic but long-winded routes are slowly
subsiding.
Anyway, a pint of London-brewed beer was necessary to complete one of
the tasks in the Treasure Hunt we were participating in, hence the
visit. Lucy did have a photo of me menacing a Ram 'n' Spec, but I
expect it will have been deleted from her phone by now. Good for a pub
lunch if it's not too busy and you're in the area.
Bunch of Grapes, Borough
A good alternative to The George. Lots of wine, city types. Visited it
before meeting Alistair in The George, a while ago.
Princess of Wales, Merton
Near the strangely named but quite good W'atch Me South Indian/Sri
Lankan restaurant.
The Alexandra, Wimbledon
Met Matt here before going on to a slightly posh, strange but good
Indian restaurant in Raynes park.
Home Cottage, Redhill
Distressingly near work. I've got take out from here several times, but
my only actual visit to date was with m'colleague Adam, to watch a Euro
2004 game - Czechs - Bulgaria, perhaps?
Carshalton, Wallington and Beddington
Visited these with Iain and Matt.
