I had naively assumed that this tour was going to be in Wales. Despite the fact it turned out not to be such I still managed to enjoy it. For which many thanks. 👍

I wonder whether 'modern conversions' tends to be a Spoons thing in busier areas. Certainly not the case down here in Cornwall.

Taken two groups on Big Al’s London Pub Tours and both agreed that the Plume of Feathers was their favourite Greenwich pub😄🍺

Hi Tweedy Jonny here! My friend James and I did the exact walk you did with your visits to pubs in Belgravia 😎 and after a few pints we thought how about a tours of historic pubs!🤔 Well ! you’ve done it . Well Done🤩

I've only just come across your channel, I'm loving it...I can't wait for you to do Camden. Nice to see the Bull and Gate mentioned, I played there many times in the 80s when it was a major hub for up and coming acts. At the same time there were many iconic bands emerging from there, the likes of Blur, Suede, Pulp and The Manic Strret Preachers all cut their teeth on that stage. Unfortunately my band, The Wigs, got absolutely nowhere!

Holloway? Rough?

Ahhh The Harp, my Favorite London Pub ... The only problem with Harveys is its difficult to keep, When its good you can't beat, but I've had so many dodgy pints of it that I steer clear

I used to work in Theobalds Road in Holborn. We frequented Enterprise in Red Lion Street, that has retained much of its original tiling and mirrors. Lovely pub. Just across the road down Lambs Conduit Street is The Lamb. It was a fantastic Young's Pub. Still has its original privacy glass from Victorian times and still serves a smashing pint of ale. Finally I recommend a trip to the Rugby Tavern just around the corner. If you have time pop into The Queens Larder in Queens Square. Some beautiful London plane trees in the Square. Great pub but tiny. One of the finest areas in London for outstanding pubs. If you have covered these pubs, I apologise. The algorithm has just started recommending your films and I am enjoying working my way through them. Thanks 👍

and I wish I hadn't bothered with this shite video

The strangest sports board I've seen is at the Botanist in Newcastle. It lists the yearly winners of the Polar Bear Wrestling Champions.

Ten bells jack the rippers local where his victims plyed there trade ladies of the night it was a gin house one of many at that time opposite spitals Field market a all night pub all his victims drank there at the time and is reputed to be haunted all were murdered within the back streets that surrounds the area of the pub

Hi John, Well I enjoyed watching and seeing all the old news items and maps. It was well worth your visit. Thanks for sticking with it. Do you come across any pubs still sticking with lounge and public bars? Its something that I remember from my old local. All the best!!

Whitby in North Yorkshire was a major port for coal traffic to London from the north-east coalfields. Captain James Cook learned his skills from working in this trade in his teens.

Sadly, the Lyric has sold poorly kept beer on my last 2 visits. I'm not hurrying to return.

I can remember a few years ago, searching for a CZcams Channel that covered this niche. Showcasing the atmosphere , stories and architectural details of historic pubs. At that time, a channel like that didn't exist and I was surprised by that, because I reasoned that surely I couldn't be the only one who wanted to see more coverage of these fascinating and richly historic buildings. I'm so incredibly glad that I stumbled upon Tweedy Pubs a few months ago. It is now one of my very favorite channels on the site.

Dirty Dicks was a shit hole when I popped in there on a late Saturday afternoon. Door hanging off the toilet stall, I had to step round a pile of sick. I couldn't wait to leave it. All it has is its name.

Grenadier is one of my favourite pubs. Nags Head is a time capsule. Fabulous place. Go while you can as pubs of this type are vanishing. Oth feature in the wonderful book Great Pubs of London. I only now done every pub in that book!

They once filmed an episode of 'The Sweeney' in The Warrington Hotel back in the late 70's. It included a bar fight and Jack Regan (John Shaw) getting shot in the leg by some escaping bank robbers.

Mr Tweedy,reviews of pubs in Tottenham N15/N17 in future

Who knows about the lord cecil?

Hackney is not like the old Hackney people think of when they hear the name Hackney. I’ve got loads of family in E5, E8 and E9. I grew up in north London but I know Hackney very well. It used to be a shit hole, but now it’s gentrified to fuck, which is not always a bad thing, but sometimes can be. All my family over that side luckily own their homes which are all worth a million and more. It’s still got its shit bits, like any area in London. But if you keep your self to yourself an do not look for trouble you will have a good life. One of my family members recently inherited his parents house, the house next door recently got sold for 1.3 million. These old London houses are crazy, masssssive basements which could be two massive rooms or decent sized flat. 100 foot garden, then 3 floors above it to do as you wish. If these houses are getting sold for 1.3 million now, what’s it going to be like in 20/30 years. The house that’s was inherited was bought £3500 back in day. Madddd come up.

Had a lot of good nights in the Salisbury. It appears in a Tales of the Unexpected from about 1981, with really good footage. I remember it looking a lot less ‘shiny’ and had red carpet if I remember correctly. Unfortunately I can’t seem to track down the episode for you. And again had loads of good nights in The Porcupine, pretty crazy pub on a Saturday night, there is every chance your sartorial elegance might get compromised with spilt drinks

...Should have went to the zoo with a 6 pack .....!!!

I was last in there some fifty years ago!

The motoring equivalent of these pubs are SUVs. I can picture an SUV owner draping their German brand name keyring on the bar as they order a Chardonnay and start talking about how much their house has risen in value

Tweedy, you probably would have enjoyed south Hackney more - particularly the pubs adjacent to Victoria Park.

Hello. I just found this channel, and it is great. Jeffrey Bernard Is Unwell played at the Apollo, around the corner from The Coach and Horses. I worked there at the time as an usher and saw the play hundreds of times. Tom Conti replaced Peter O'Toole and was much less everything than Peter O'Toole had been. It was later revived at the Old Vic with Peter O'Toole back in the saddle, though by then I was living in Canada and I missed it.

Did you get change out if a tenner for a pint!

Was in London a couple of months ago. One interesting pub not far from where I was staying was was the Blackfriar. The Temple Church was built by the Templars in the 12th century and was their London HQ. It is an interesting historical site.

a credible man in tweed talking about an old cock is always fascinating

Hello Tweedy. I think the Scottish coats of arms on the Wheatsheaf may relate to Wm Younger & Co being in the stained glass on the main window as this was an Edinburgh brewery, perhaps they owned it at some point. Another interesting video, thanks.

used to drink in the Horse & Groom on Mare street late 1970s... we used to call it the Remorse & Gloom but it was a proper lovely old place. Also the Royal Oak, used to go there to see Lily Savage, great place.

9:22 Enjoyed reading about the beer fuelled Creationist v Darwinist punch up in the Old Ship...

You gave me a chuckle on this one Tweedy. Haven't seen you quite as forlorn and I do enjoy your subtly biting and humorous commentary when one is not quite up to standard. I'll strike off a pop in to this area and their ghastly citrus beers on my upcoming visit in October. Well done again.

I had many a messy night in The Dolphin.

i can't watch anything english anymore,too depressing

The best book written about London is a book called I never knew that about London. I thought I knew a lot about London because I’ve walked every road and street But the book gives all the history. Great read. Also leadenhall. Got its name because the whole roof was made of lead. Nothing to do with leather. ❤❤❤❤

At least you didn’t get stabbed. Pembury Tavern is a decent pub with Five points ales. Chesham Arms is pretty good too.

Think perhaps you need to approach a pub, as a pub. It's a pub, anyone can drink there, go and have a drink. Also maybe talk to people in the pubs, it's good to talk to people you don't know in pubs.

Fascinating! Thank you! What wonderful discoveries!

It is pronounced 'maudlin' ... you could have had an Adnams at the Mill ... also being Cambridge one of the colleges likely owns the land wherever you place your foot ...

Why would you drink alcohol?

Disappointed you did not feature The pillars of Hercules pub in soho. Perhaps another time.

A review of Oxford pubs without any mention of Inspector Morse is quite an achievement. I have not been in the UK since 2008 so finding the prices hard to stomach. Timothy Taylors Landlord was amongst my favourite beers. Here in sunny Thailand a pint works out between £1.20 to £2.00 but not what anyone would call a real ale. The pubs, beer & countryside are all I miss about the UK. Thanks for posting, enjoyed the tour, for once outside of London.

Not a damp squib at all, matey. Good and informative. Cheers 🍺

Perhaps you should had visited the star of Hackney downs

Imagine you could make a video of the bars inside the Houses Of Parliament.

Bit of a bugger when you're sitting outside the pub with a pint and they've just watered the flower baskets.
