A great afternoon watching Saracens. Keep an eye out for Noah Caluori — he’s only 19 and was absolutely fantastic. #saracens #rugby

The Claddagh Ring — a proper Irish boozer. A good crowd in on a Saturday afternoon, the grub smells amazing. Love it here. #claddaghring #hendon

A return visit to The Greyhound in Hendon — a historic pub by St Mary’s Church, where legendary Arsenal manager Herbert Chapman is buried. #greyhound #arsenal #hendon

Barrett’s Pub opposite Harrow & Wealdstone station. A proper oldschool Irish pub, footy on the box, Guinness is £4.50 a pint. #harrow #irishpub #guinness

No crawl today as I’m off to watch Saracens with my son in Barnet. We’re meeting up in Harrow for a quick pint before heading over to Hendon for a few pre-match beers. First stop today is the local café — breakfast was superb: a tsunami of sautéed spuds, a tenner all in. #cafe

A brilliant snippet of what life was like in and around The Hand & Marigold. Click link below 👇 https://t.co/3z7Da0Nf9c

It’s great to see this Bermondsey boozer back open and serving the local community. I loved everything about it — from the glazed tiled exterior and traditional pub decor to the independent brews and warm welcome. A fantastic pub — get it on your to-visit list. #handandmarigold

The Hand & Marigold 📍 244 Bermondsey St, London SE1 3UH This pub sits on Bermondsey Street in Bermondsey, southeast London. Dating back to 1793, the pub was originally called The Hand & Marygold, named after a woman who picked marigolds in the Thames marshes. #bermondsey

Sometimes the word “gastro” puts off those just after a pint, but this pub balances both worlds nicely. The Whitbread heritage, the striking architecture, the understated decor, the spiral staircase, and a perfectly poured pint all made for a great stop. #shoreditch #pub

The Princess of Shoreditch 📍76-78 Paul St, London EC2A 4NE This pub sits in a quiet backstreet in Shoreditch, East London. Records show there’s been a pub on this site since 1742. It was rebuilt in the 19th century and started life as a Whitbread house named The Princess Royal.

At The Long Arm Pub & Brewery for a bit of beer tasting. I’m the most basic of drinkers, so this should be interesting. #longarm #shoreditch

The long closed Cock & Magpie on Wilson Street EC2. #cockandmagpie #lostpub

Popped in The Singer Tavern. A bit of a pub/cocktail bar hybrid. Busy enough with an afterwork crowd, nice buzz about the place. #singertavern #shoreditch

Having a couple of pints in Shoreditch before heading off to a beer tasting and brewery tour nearby. First stop is The Windmill. It’s nice and quiet at the mo — a good-sized pub, and I love the Charrington’s leaded stained-glass windows. #windmill #shoreditch #pub

As soon as I walked through the door, I knew it was going to be good. The locals are friendly and the service personable. My pint was superb and food was on another level. I loved it here, I wish I’d stayed longer, fantastic pub and a must-visit if you’re in the area. #ryans

Ryan’s 📍282 Northfield Ave, London W5 4UB Ryan’s is located close to Blondin Park in Northfields, Ealing, West London. Originally a shop before being converted into a pub called Captain Woodducks around 1990. It was also known as Duffy’s, and in 2020, it was renamed Ryan’s.

Glad they kept the lady of the night in to top window.

Today’s last stop, The Queen Charlotte. Now an independent pub that has taken over from Brewdog two week’s ago. Loads of beer choice, personable staff, lovely little boozer. #queencharlotte #fitzrovia #pub

The Newman Arms on Rathbone Street. The pub has been recently taken over and received a bold makeover. Absolutely packed inside, I like what they’ve done with the alleyway, enjoying a wee Tennents. #newmanarms #fitzrovia #pub

The Duke of York in Fitzrovia. Busy with the after-work crowd, a few Aussie tourists, and a couple of old-boy locals. There’s a nice buzz about the pub — “Josie” by Steely Dan playing in the background, and some lovely tiling around the ramp. Solid. #dukeofyork #Fitzrovia #pub
