Something of a failure as regards a first picture - Duncan appears to have exploded (in fact this is the flash from his camera).
|
Friday 16:03
That's a bit better. So anyway, here we are in an All Bar One near Waterloo - a rather faceless first pub, but chosen simply for its convenience in meeting up.
|
Friday 16:34
After checking into our hotel etc, we wandered over towards the "pub district", which gave us a chance for some touristy pictures en route...
|
|
|
|
|
|
Friday 16:37
I never grow tired of the Houses of Parliament.
|
Friday 16:48
Another Thames side scene, including St. Paul's, the gherkin, and the Oxo tower just in shot over on the far right.
|
Friday 16:49
David and Duncan looking daft by the river.
|

|
Friday 17:00
First proper pub of the evening - the Black Friar.
|
Friday 17:09
David and Duncan inside enjoying the ambiance of the Black Friar.
|
Friday 17:18
One of the Art Nouveau bas reliefs that makes up this fascinating interior.
|
|

|
Friday 17:29
On from there, we headed North, and for some reason I determined it would be nice to get a picture of the Holborn Viaduct.
|
Friday 17:39
...fitting really, as the next pub was the Viaduct Tavern.
|
Friday 17:48
Clearly Duncan chose the wrong side of the door to leave by.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Friday 17:49
A quick picture of the sign.
|
Friday 19:21
After the Viaduct, we decided to pop into my club for a couple of drams. Actually me and David had already been once earlier in the day before we met up with Duncan.
|
Friday 19:53
Next stop, the ever wonderful Cittie of Yorke... Just look at those sherry butts.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Friday 20:07
...and of course the famous high vaulted ceiling.
|
Friday 20:25
Duncan and Simon, enjoying a pint, stood by these nice old furnace things.
|
Friday 20:36
Ducan, Simon and David.
|
|

|
Friday 20:36
Not sure why a second attempt was required, but there you go.
|
Friday 21:51
Food became something of a priority after the Cittie, so here we are popping for a quick curry round the corner.
|
Friday 22:16
Back to the important business of pubs again, here we are inside Ye Olde Mitre.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Friday 22:20
...maybe a bit nicer to look at from the outside, photographically speaking.
|
Friday 22:20
Me in a bit of an advertising pose.
|
Friday 22:21
Duncan, Simon and the chap I believe to be the landlord.
|
|
|
|
|
Friday 22:21
A bit of the sign in shot there - I think this is James' handiwork - jolly good show.
|
Friday 22:51
A final picture in which you can see the actual mitre, up on the wall.
