    Same @Sun_Addict 😁 I am appalling at remembering pub names, and especially in central London where bars open and close and change ownership so often. Though I do remember the now sadly closed Holborn Whippet, that was a lovely wee bar

    Thanks for the info. There’s a good chance I’ve wandered in to that one before. Or maybe wobbled into it? 🤭

    Good tip for the Edgar Wallace. Often in all sorts of London areas in search of a decent pint.
    If your down that way, check out the Shirker’s Rest just off Lewisham way. The CAMRA 2026 pub for the area. Meet up with our kids there for a nice pint.
