Phil Chambers wrote on 13-12-2007 “A huge, sprawling sticky affair - this branch of JD Wetherspoons is probably the cheapest place to drink in Holborn, but by no means the best. Yes, the ale is cheap. Yes, they have some guests. Yes, the clientèle are an amusing mix of chavs and alcoholics - which makes for fun chat! But, it's...” more...

Anyway, it's a very nice place frequented by the fellows of the mathematics department at UCL, so you'll never be short of a spot of vortex-chat over a pint of special. The...” more...

I like the interior... pokey corners, wood paneling... open fires. It's also quite big. Sadly they don't have any hand pumped ales here, which is a real shame, as...” more...

Slightly hidden in the mews, you won't stumble across it unless you know, which means the crowd is locals, lecturers, and students. There used to be a really great boutique car garage across the road that had a...” more...

The crowd are a real mixture of pre-clubbing 20-somethings, tourists who accidentally landed there, and some regulars. The landlady is a particularly nice Irish girl who always will attempt to fit...” more...

    Ha ha. Go on then Phil. I imagine St. Thomas' in Waterloo or the Royal London in Whitechapel are our best bets :)

    Great idea, but has anyone looked into the logistics? Some of the pubs are a bit further away. And I want a unifying theme!

  • 15 November 2007

    Indeed. The maps not really looking like the horse shoe that big man required. We seem to have decent cluster in the Holborn area with a south ken splinter cell.

  • 15 November 2007

    Hey - it's barely finished guys - it will all make sense I assure you... :)

    The unifying theme is Christmas guys!

    Just add on pubs along the way in between holborn and the outliers, 11 is clearly too few anyway. And I think you should select pubs on the basis of the pubs marked on the map forming the shape of santa claus. then even aliens flying past in their UFOs would know there was a christmas pub crawl happening

  • 15 November 2007

    Presumably they wouldn't be UFOs to the aliens? Since they know what they are...

    Good idea though!

    Clever. Hadn't thought of that.
