The Angel pub is located near Tottenham Court Road directly across the road from Google's shiny new central London offices. Originally built in 1898 the pub was originally called the Bowl. It's exterior is hardly inviting and until relatively recently I didn't realise that it was owned by Samuel Smith. They purchased it from Courage in the late 1990s/early 2000s and restored it's interior which had become quite run down. There is now a public bar, a lounge and a snug.

The Kirkstone Pass Inn, one of the highest pubs in the UK (1,481ft above sea level), in the Winter (Boxing Day 2009) and Spring (April 2010). I was fortunate to take both shots from exactly the same spot (actually unplanned).

The Bloomsbury Tavern was built in 1895 after slums in the area were demolished to build Shaftesbury Avenue. Owned by Shepherd Neame, the pub was the last in London to have a wine-only license. Today the small pub serves a selection of ales from the brewery.

These three pubs have some of the narrowest fronts in London. The left pub is located on Gracechurch Street and the ground floor bar is extremely narrow. There is a larger room outside or you can stand outside like the people in this shot. The second pub, the Golden Lion is located in posh St James's and you can view the interior here. The third pub, Ye Olde Cock Tavern is probably has the narrowest front of any pub in London but the interior isn't as narrow. The pub used to be located across the road from its current Fleet Street location and was demolished to make room for the Royal Courts of Justice.

The Lamb is a pub that can trace its history back to 1729. Remodelled in Victorian times, the pub retains many original Victorian features including the one of the finest sets of snob screens in London and a rare working polyphon (the predecessor to the gramophone).

I'm not sure if the employees of Left Hand Brewing Co. always wear oversized novelty sunglasses when cleaning kegs or just on the time I visited.
