Great video! Love the Grenadier, always stop by when I'm in town. Also recently visited the Hawley Arms for the first time. What a place.

Thank you for the great VLOG and all the information! My wife and I are heading to London in 2 days for our 25th anniversary

[bsargent]

Nice list! Some new ones on there to try. Thanks

[TBMusic]

Didn't know a good 6 or 7 of those. Have to make a day of it and visit them all. On the theme of macabre pubs - Have you visited The Magdala pub in Hampstead? The last woman to be sentenced to death in the UK shot her lover outside it in the 50s.

[caioreis]

very nice selection....I'll pay a visit for sure

[fredanderica]

The Ten Bells, there is much more history to that pub. I am sure it has the upper hand on The Grenadier ;)

[spumemonk]

Great vid. However, the Prince of Wales pub you mentioned re Adam Ant was actually on Prince of Wales Rd NW5. It's now been redeveloped.

I always enjoyed a pint or 2 in these amazing old English pubs on my visits to the UK 👍 🍺 Au

[sdvol]

Been to the swan many times - I’ll take you up on a couple of the others

[Antihm-jswc]

Love the titfer (hat) you are a cool guy, enjoying your video of all these pubs.

Cart n Horses Stratford.... get down there !

The Blind Beggar is supposed to allude to the legend of Henry de Montfort who escaped the Battle of Evesham in 1265 after being blinded. He begged on the crossroads, where the inn stood for centuries before being built as a pub in Victorian times. It’s almost certainly not true but London is full of myths and legends like this

[Antihm-jswc]

It’s a true pity that the Thomas a Becket has been knocked down (old Kent road) that was a great pub complete with boxing ring upstairs I believe Henry cooper used to train there amongst other of our wonderful boxers.

At 8:25 the picture of the soldier who was cheating at cards is actually a portrait of the Duke of Wellington !

[jameseley-gr]

the man who went into the prince of wells pub u will no him by his stage name adam aint from adam and the aints he was a friend of mine

[GrenOulio]

Not a bad effort. Have been to all of those except one

[IntoTheWhite]

The Churchill is in Notting hill reallly. The Windsor castle round the corner is much better

[paulirwin]

Thats the wrong Prince of Wales for Adam ant it was the Prince of Wales originally on Prince of Wales Road near kentish town west, it was actually in the paper ..
