London is famous for its many pubs, most of which have an intriguing tale or two to tell. In this Christmas special, we’ll be exploring 6 of them… all of which have names related to the nativity.
So wrap up warm, and let’s get going!
Cheers! 🍻

Another great video Rob. Having worked and walked around London for over 40 years, I have visited all these pubs and love them all. The Three Kings w14 was our local when I worked for a time in Ashfield House, although the real ale was often not very good at times in the 80s. Thank you in particular for telling the story of Dr and Mrs Salter and their tragic daughter Joyce. The thieves who stole the bronze statue of the legendary local hero Dr Salter should hang their heads in shame.

The pub experience is such an integral part of the experience of being on the UK that I think it is underestimated by residents just how important and lovely it is. It is so comforting to know that you are never far from a place where you can rest and refresh, and that often this includes enjoying yourself in an historic establishment that has provided this service for hundreds of years. Rob, your videos are just terrific and I appreciate them greatly.

Hi Rob, I stumbled across your channel whilst looking at old haunts I lived and worked at all through the 1980's. One pub I renovated in 1984 was 'The Horn Tavern' in Knightrider Court near blackfriars bridge, no doubt you know of it but it's called something else now. Still like to get back up to London a dozen times a year but your channel keeps me going in the meantime. Merry Christmas, Terry

One of my brothers bought a car from Diana Dors's boyfriend. It was a Jaguar with a cocktail cabinet in the back. Another brother sent a couple up to Edinburgh to my parents for a month because they had to get out of London. I remember going out with them and having to call the woman Mummy. Dodgy, just on the fringes but knew enough he then blagged his way into a new life in Rhodesia. Families!

On a similar note around Christmas themes, you may want to venture further afield to Hampstead and visit The Holly Bush. It’s an old traditional pub, tucked a bit out of the way behind the Clock Tower opposite the tube station. Apart from a beautiful pub the food there is rather tasty. They used to make the best Toad In The Hole there. Truth is most pubs in Hampstead are historic and classy but that one has the additional Christmassy connotation. But be careful if it’s icy when you’re leaving as you walk down the hill.

What a fascinating pub crawl, Rob! Thoroughly researched, packed with intriguing facts, and a poignant interlude honouring the good doctor, his wife and their daughter, your video tour was compelling watching. You must have put a huge amount of time and effort into this programme to give us such a rich historical documentary. Now, that's worth much more than a pint! Happy Christmas, Rob! 🎄

I can't be the only one who shed a tear for the Salters there. This was brilliant as always, Rob. Timely too as I discovered your channel this weekend and had just finished binging through your content! Keep it up my man, this is fascinating work you're doing. With love from Yorkshire x

Can’t thank you enough for those kind words Mickey; much appreciated sir. I love the Salters too, they were wonderful people who suffered such heartache. I really think their story is worthy of a film or TV adaptation. Thanks again Mickey; have a great Christmas and stay well.

@@Robslondon As to the Angel...never made it across the Thames (beyond Tower Bridge)...but I love the Wapping pubs along the opposite shore: Town of Ramsgate, Cptn. Kidd, Prospect of Whitby...even Grapes down in Limehouse. London is always great. Back in 1987, when being a student at Hull University, we demonstrated against the Thatcher government starting at Marble Arch. Even earlier, in 1980, I attended my first rock concert...at the Hammersmith Odeon. Good times! Now it has become a long way from Calgary, Canada. But hey, my letter to Ealing arrived today...it took only 8 days.

Great video, Rob. One of the things I miss about not being in London anymore is the old pubs. I knew Leadenhall very well, and I remember a huge black cat that used sit on sentry in a cardboard box, outside one of them. Merry Christmas!🍻🎄
