Pubs Of London - a personal account of many pubs and their
nuances
Late
Night London -
|
There
are pubs everywhere in London. Usually at least one every two or
three blocks on the larger streets. It's also a very good idea to
look down smaller side streets! Pubs and going down the pub for a
quick pint are part of London's daily routine. The typical
lunchtime pastime is to down a few pints before staggering back to
the office! Londoners from all walks of life take part in the
daily ritual, from drunken judges to factory workers to the
queen! ( just kidding!)
The
pubs are open from 11.00 hours to 23.00 hours. They
serve food ( if you can call it that!) and drink. Try the
Ploughman's Lunch. It is usually about £5
. Typically it consists of bread, dry cheddar cheese, pickle
(English coleslaw) and apple or lettuce or something in the way of
a fruit or vegetable. Usually you can sit down, although on
warm sunny days, Londoners strip off to the waist and stand up
outside with their pint!
