drinking in Bradford's roughest pubs! - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sMV6mtJy1MjMfok.html

Visited London back from Japan last year, and can't believe how much it's changed. London feels like a completely different country. It's rare to hear an English accent in London nowadays, let alone a London accent.

Nothing wrong with the Blind Beggar. Great pub and brilliant people.

Me uncle took me in the blind beggar when I was 22yrs old in 1988, he told me the history of the pub, I'm 58yrs now , happy memories of my 2yrs working in London on the whitleys restoration job in Bayswater, so many stories to tell, all true too 👍

You brought back some memories for me. Used to drink in the Begger at weekends back in the 80s and drink lunchtimes in the Bkackfriars in the 90s...great stuff.

Another brilliant video, one of my favourite channels

The Blind Beggar became famous after the 1966 shooting of Cornell, but there is another pub called the White Hart across the road almost unknown. There are actually two White Hart pubs in Whitechapel.

It's criminal the price of a pint in London😂😂

Cracking vid Danny some great insight, also watched yourself & Wendell around these pubs, 2 great tubers in 1 hit, top work fella👊

Day before George Cornell was shot the Krays came into the Tailors my mum worked for and cancelled the suit they were making for him, even paid up the bill for what with had already been done.

One of the joys about travelling all over the country is trying the local beers that you'd otherwise never encounter. Sticking to Guinness is so boring and unimaginative. Its an ok beer for sure but there are so many much better beers. All that's required is a bit of inquisitiveness.

watched a good few of your videos i subbed straight away but this 1 was by far the best for me :) such interesting history surrounding the krays thanks bud

I work right near that last pub in Blackfriars. I knew you would be raging at the prices😂. Had a couple in there once myself but the silly price of Guinness put me off. Love your videos. Keep it up mate!

this is awesome.the pubs are true to what u see and working class great channel

new to the channel seen a few all great to watch thanks love vlogs like this

Nice and hoppy, banging!! Cheers fella, let's have some longer ones, a nice live Friday night drink along in the sunshine!

That's krayzy! Sorry I had to 🙈🤣🤣 Enjoyed the vid, you've gained a new sub! 👍

Nice blood red ceiling in there mate and I think you had a lucky escape there mate with the pub that was shut by the looks of it!

2nd ,keep up the good work, great channel 👏

Recently subscribed love your content brother keep it up 👍🏻

Great to see the legendary pubs still open, even some from my more recent memories are now long shut down and gone :(

Great video fella! Always a grand watch

Good chat, thanks & best wishes from Western Scotland.

The blind beggar didn’t look half as ropey as my local walkabout did when I went in yesterday! Great content 👍

Love your videos ... big fan from Toronto!!

Im going into London for a bit of street photography tomorrow I'm only half hour away on the train, I'll be having a beer in the Blackfriars and a few other pubs, great video mate.

Been enjoying these videos man. .you can shoot at 50 fps if you want to avoid that flicker from the lights (its to do with the electricity supply syncing at 60hz, Im assuming you shot at 60)

Interesting tour , thank you , keep up the good work 👏

Great vlog .....really intresting stuff!

Great video. Well done for coming down to London!

I half expected Zeppelins manager Peter Grant coming back from the dead and tackling our main man telling him to keep his lips sealed!!!

Awesome video. If your over that way again I recommend wapping East London. Was a slum until not long ago has a decent number of pubs long the Thames aswell. The town of ramsgate, captain kidd and the prospect of Whitby. All worth visiting. Also Turners old star is there where they filmed the fight scene in Legend. The mad thing is they obviously dressed the pub up for the film and now it actually looks rougher in real life 😅

Cracking little vid mate. 👌

Great vid...keep em coming..

That's got to be the most low key youtube colab ever! Really weird as I've just subscribed to you and Wendall in the last month or so!

Thanks for sharing 👍 interesting, would like to visit these pubs. Subscribed 😊

Good pub tour mate, you need to do some more estate pubs 👍

Excellent channel mate.

Really interesting video bud enjoyed it cheers 🍺

Great filming. . Subscribed

I can't believe that the first pub you venture in has Boon Kriek; which is a lambic from Belgium! I've been drinking their beers since 2006 or so! Wow

The 2nd Carpenter Arms is a great boozer.Been in there on a couple of an occasions.Down from Glasgow and 3 blokes at the bar.Arsenal,Spurs fans and maybe a Chelsea fan.The owner was Tony and made me and my mate so welcome.Went back the following year and the same guys at the bar and remembered us right away with Tony still there.Hope they’re well.

I like this vid.Good vid and good walkabout..

I worked at a pub in New Malden in the late 90s and the manager said it was a Krays pub. It did have tiny secret doors and hallways upstairs. I believe it’s been torn down.

Nice content fella, I wonder what the twins would of thought about their old stamping ground today if they were around to see it

Great video man, nice one. 🫶

Used to live across the corner from Carpenters Arms, what a great pub!

Good video. Very nice picture quality. 👍

Great video bro 👍

Loving the content. Great to see real Britain. ❤

Brilliant buddy..cheers

Love the vids mate! What do you do for work?

Did you notice the thick chains hanging down from the centre of every table in the blind begger? That's for the tourists to chain their bags to. Otherwise the locals keep robbing the bags. Now that is a rough pub! 😂. I was in last week.

New to your channel and loving it ❤from Manchester

its odd seeing you in my neck of the woods, another great video mate and for the others in chat cheapest pint i can find is £4.20 for a Guinness in an irish pit of a hole pub up in Wembley

Went down to watch Bolton play at West Ham's Upton Park around 20 years ago. We called in at the Blind Beggar after the game. Not much has changed. from what I can see. We found the place a bit dark but it was almost empty so it wasn't an intimidating place. Average London pub with a dodgy past, nothing to worry about.

There are some belters right around the corner, if you ever return I’d be happy to show you them, old, rough but great.

Great stuff, even Wendell makes an appearance! Could have been worse with the prices to be fair would expect anything in London.

Nice vid mate, can get a guinness round here in Wembley Park for just over 4 quid, which isn't too bad for London...

Proper Gangsters, great phrase 😄

Nice bit of character in both ❤

Major cities up North are the same price as London and those £7 pints are simply tourist traps. There are plenty of pubs under £5 and a fair few under £4!

I expected to see Dobo around the bar in the Blind Beggar, or a few old timer ex Royal Green Jackets. Yes it is rough and most definitely needs some work done to the infrastructure.

Great vlogs ✌️🍻❤️

The Krays used the Grave Maurice on Whitechapel Road a lot, although I think it's closed down now. I used to drive past it in the 1980s to watch boxing at York Hall.

Did you ever make a video about that hotel in Manchester? Saw your video on the boozers and the city centre but couldn’t find the hotel one…

"Looks like it's been airdropped" is my new favorite insult

"surprised there's still not blood on the floor to be honest" LOL

Love how you started in Highgate

Hey man I love your videos and I'm thinking about it now lol. I must be lonely or a sad bastard. You do the stuff I do, I'm from Bradford but live in Norwich to escape from the...... rain lol. Apparently the Prince of Wales Road in norwich was one of the worst streets in Europe for violence at one time, come down ill get you a few Guineesss, deffo a typo there somewhere. Its a lovely city, put us on the map. Also do your videos cover your costs? Thats burning me lol Increase the peace, see you in Norwich. Lewis

Great vlog. Have a great day.

Fantastic pubs love a drink in them regular

the Carpenters Arms is was an excellent pub and was heavy West ham presence on game days it was always packed ... loads of caharacters

Going to be honest now mate I’ve watched a few of your episodes and been on the fence about subbing but seen you team up with wendel guy and thought I’m enjoying your content why ever not. Only thing I’d say try drinking cask real ale if it’s ever available😁😋

Thnks for a bit of history that really was the founder of gang culture in London

I used to drink regularly with my mates from Bethnal Green. The Blind Beggar Pub and the Old Dover Castle Pub just off Bethnal Green high street. Proper pubs still with dodgy geezers 😮 drinking there 😮😮. The black friar drank in there loadsa time when based in the city working 😂😂😂

Cool video big man👍

Been in the Blackfriar, excellent real ale pub.

If the Kray Twins were still about, you wouldn't have all this knife crime, muggings and robberies on the streets of Britain and you'd still be able to leave your front door unlocked and find all of your possessions still be there when you returned from work or from the shops. People had proper respect for one another back then. My auntie used to keep her front door key in the lock throughout the day, so you could just let yourself into her house. Things were so much safer and better back then. It's a shame we can't turn the clock back and do it all again. RIP Ronnie, Reggie, Charlie and family. 🙏

Is the marquis of queen’s still open at the start of valence road

If you want a cracking Guinness and as close as you get to Ireland then go to the Coach and Horses in Covent Garden. I bet you probably have , but you won’t beat the Guineas in there.

Great video mate

That last gaff 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

Amazing video 🍻

Looks like you had fun with your Leo Sayer, not surprised that a pint of Guinness there costs way more than a deepsea diver though.

Must have been a fascinating place in the 50’s 60’s and the 70’s , The whole Kray story is Amazing 🤩

Love your content

great video man

Was in the Blackfriar last weekend. One of the better pints of Timothy Taylor's Landlord that I've had.

Great old pubs in London!!

Those prices are nuts. Here in Prague at Irish pubs in the heart of tourist central, where only English stag tourists go to get ripped off and because no one else will have them, a pint of Guinness is around 4.5 quid.

Great video

Wow 5.70 a pint mate. Love the videos

Now TFL and the boss Khan are Londons best known dodgies.😂

Hang on, was that Wendall with you in the Beggar? Did you take him on a pub crawl? That last one mate, my old man gave me a rule of thumb, never go in a pub with a flat roof and steel shutters. I've done a few and really should have listened to my dad! :D

In 80s I drank in a Islington pub the owner was friends of them had pictures. Used to spar with them in boxing club

My dad knew quite a few people back in the day. He said quite a lot of work was done in cafes. When I was young he would take me to the Regency cafe in Westminster and cafes in the east end. Most of these places are gone now. I've written books such as Who Killed the Essex Boys, and Who Killed Stephen Ward, and I some point I will down the other stories about London in the 60's 70's and 80's.

i allways stop in The Blackfriar when i pop into london before i get the train home i like the pub

Another pub the twins would meet up in wasn't in London but still north of the Thames, that was The Fountain New Malden, now sadly demolished !

Bar in the Carpenters used to be made out of a coffin lid. There also used to only be one door in and out so the Krays could keep an eye on who came and went. As regards the Blind Beggar , when the bloke said "Ronnie Kray shot him 4 times"This is of course utter bollox! He shot him once. I was in the Blind Beggar a few weeks ago. Its a great place when it fills up with locals. Full of footie fans the other week when I was in. Proper London.
