Once, about three lifetimes ago, I bought a little Jack Russell terrier off a geezer in The Town Of Ramsgate. paid £10, a pint, and few games of Rummy for the little chap. He went on to father three good litters and was my faithful chum for over 12 years. When he left me, I had him cremated, took him back to The Town, and put his ashes back in the water. I went inside and had a pint. I suppose it was better in the old days, London. People under 30 have no idea now. She was a lady, that old town.
Great comment, thank you,
Thanks for sharing this story
@@Robslondon You're welcome, son.
It's a shame our animal companions have such short lives, but it sounds like his was a good one. Thanks for sharing, you gave him a wonderful send off, the Thames as his marker.
This might be right up your Mile End road

This is probably one of the most charming and wholesome channels on RUclips. Thanks Rob!
That means a great deal to me Jason, thank you so much 😊 Stay well my friend.
I agree with that comment. So sick of the dated ''Hey guyz whatzapp' rubbish and the stupid faces on thumbnails.
The Town of Ramsgate is also where William Bligh and fletcher Christian had their last beer together before the Bounty set sail for Tahiti.
Thanks Sav, I didn't know that- great fact ;-)
Thanks for that, you learn something everyday!
@@johnmoore9862 Cheers!
Wow, I didn't know that, what a smashing bit of history. Thanks
@@patrickyorke7339 It’s a pleasure Patrick; thank you so much for watching.
Fantastically produced Sir, I am 1500 miles away retired in Southern Italy but I can almost smell the Lamb & Flag which I often frequented in the early 80's. Thank you.
Thank you so much Patrick 😊

Great channel. Since 2008 Iv worked within an industry that solely services London pubs. The Hoop & Grapes, The Spaniard and The Grenadier are pub iv worked in hundreds of times. The One Tun Iv never been in but have parked opposite many times and walked past the Lamb and flag iv hurried past many times as well. The other pubs Iv never heard of.
People asked me if Iv been in to every pub in London. There are hundreds of pubs Iv worked in and hundreds Iv never stepped foot in. London is a huge town.
Wonderful comment; thanks so much 😊
I love London, my favorite city in the world. Exploring different pubs every time I visit is always a habit I undertaken, you can be sure. I’ll visit the hope and grapes this time.
Lovely comment, thank you.
Coming from a drinking city Nottingham I have to say that when your in the big smoke in a pub there is a whole different atmosphere. I love it , even the designs of the bars you feel almost uniquely London and cockney. I cherish my pub time when in the capital.
Also Nottingham has the oldest pub in the world. “Ye olde trip to Jerusalem “
It’s called, very unique and built into sandstone caves at the foot of Nottingham castle.
Wonderful comment Jason, thank you :-)
Yes, I've heard of it... want to visit one day ;-) Cheers.
The Lamb & Flag is always my stop in London... Great pub and a great atmosphere!
You forgot great food.
Excellent - I've been in The Lamb & Flag and The Town of Ramsgate several times but not any of the others - must do more drinking.
Ha ha! It’s the perfect excuse Chris! Thanks for the kind words.
@@Robslondon Anytime - keep up the good work.
Watch better way to munch one's way through my Weetabix than to watch another super Robslondon video.? For me as a proud friend of the channel, there isn't! But I worry that I may run out of this vital ether laptop companionship! Hope not. I will watch all the London pub series and dream of happier past times in the village pub and draughts of real ale. I find that the reasonably priced pint of Ruddles in a Tim Wetherspoons establishment better suits my pocket these days, though being part of a national chain they lack the character of many of your chosen pubs.. Keep 'em coming Rob. All your varied videos are really informative, enjoyable and so well researched and presented. Thank you.
Rob
🤣
Ha ha! Thanks so much Rob. The channel will always be here for you, 24/7 ;-) Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
Great video so interesting thanks for showing 👍 😊
Thank you ☺️
Many years ago i did the Fullers passport,which was visiting every Fullers pub,most within London,and the furthest outside being Reading.
I can't remember how many pubs they had then,about 50 or more.The interesting thing was the diversity and going into pubs you wouldn't normally go in,or hadn't heard of.
That sounds brilliant David 😉
In the seventies (when first Paspport scheme was run), there were 128 pubs. The number grew over the years to the present 383 pubs, of which about 100 are in Greater London.
This is a great channel, Rob, which I only discovered today. I have frequented 5 of these 10 pubs over the years so I am only 50% towards the target!
Thanks so much John, it’s good to have you here! Stay tuned as I’ll have a Christmas pubs special out soon 😉 Cheers
Thoroughly enjoyed as always. Amazed at how much work you put into these videos, long may they continue- thank you 💕🦆
That means a lot to me Pam, thank you. Stay well
Hoop & Grapes was my old local, when I worked on Farringdon Street- happy days! Thanks for posting the video - really informative!
It's a pleasure, thank you!
Thanks for the video Rob. I worked in London over 35 years ago and got to know a few of the pubs in and around the West End. But there were/are so many didn't and still don't know of. Your video added a few new ones. While I'm here I like to say how much I enjoyed your account of your life as a cabbie and the incredible roller-coaster ride you endured in your quest to gain the 'Knowledge'. It was a fascinating and entertaining read.
Thank you so much for your kind words, Jean-Pierre; much appreciated sir. Cheers 😉
Love all about it, information,images and soundtrack Thank you 👏🏻
Much appreciated, thank you!
I used to work in The Hoop and Grapes 😃 and occasionally in the White Hart Whitechapel. Great times. Did I ever serve anyone watching this ? :)
Fantastic work Rob. First class research and perfectly executed.
Already looking forward to Volume 2.
Cheers!
Thank you Rob
All the best
Thanks Henry
Fascinating. Thanks
Thank you
The series of videos you made about the pubs, starting with this one, were early favorites of my husband and me and we watched them with great enthusiasm. Your vidoes evoke the spirit of London so acutely, and your love for this amazing city shines through every second!
That really warms me to know Catherine, thank you! I'm working on my next video as we speak... and it's going to be a Christmas pubs special; will be ready within the next few days!
Brilliant, loved hearing about all of these pubs looking forward to the next 10! Good luck with your chanel I'm definately subscribed☺☺
That’s so kind Wendy, thank you ☺️
Been in all of them - a long while ago. The Town of Ramsgate has been one of my favourite pubs for a long time, as is The Mayflower on the other side of the river.
Yes, much agreed Brian; love The Mayflower. I'm considering it for the next instalment. Stay well.
Be sure and check out Florrie Forde’s famous ditty _”Down at the Old Bull and Bush,”_ a repurposed beer promotional drinking song, in the Bavarian oompah style - with pre-WWI origins obviously.
Thanks Michael. I was thinking about including an excerpt from it on this video but wasn't too sure about copyright! Stay well ;-)
The Grenadier was one of my favourite pubs when I lived in London. At the time they had a Bloody Mary bar with it's own steward in white coat and gloves.
interesting, didn’t know about that Mark.
I heard the story of the ghost in a ghost hunting book . Apparently it’s now been exorcised . Would be good to find out for sure though !
@@clairelees6718 Oh, didn’t know about that Claire! Thanks for sharing 😉
Absolutely fantastic video Rob ! I'm new to your channel and love it brings back a lot of memories ! Hopefully returning home to London soon to which has always stayed in my heart and bring some of my dad's ashes home ! Keep up the fantastic work Rob brilliant 👍🏻🍺🍺🍺🕷
Thank you so much mate; really moving words. Take care, stay well and best wishes with your return.
This might be right up your Mile End road

Hi Rob. I saw this out of order.... but had some time today to catch up a few of the older ones. I love how you put these together. So nice to have the story of the dog close out the last one. All the best fella.
Cheers John 😉
Tun, as in the One Tun, is a barrel. Which when filled with water, weighs...one ton.
That was great fun! And I think we’ll be giving a few a visit on our next excursion to the capital! 😎
Cheers Rob, nice one 👍🍀🍻
Ah, thanks very much Tim! Cheers and stay well! ;-)
really enjoyed that, especially with the history details, looking forward to a lot more, having a few beers at home watching in Thailand .....London Battle Cruisers....
Thanks so much 😉🍺
lovely video. Well done. I will look at your other ones.
Thank you so much Steve 😊
Another one to add to your list - Williamson's Tavern, Groveland Court, off Bow Lane, EC4. I worked there over 30 years ago. It used to be the residence of the Lord Mayor of London, and is believed to have been visited by King William and Queen Mary. Wrought iron gates at one end of the courtyard are said to have been given as a gift of the royal couple. In the 18th century, it was purchased by Robert Williamson and converted into a hotel, then later a tavern. The Williamson family died out in the early 20th century and it was sold. The current building is mostly from a reconstruction in the 1930s. It is said to hold the oldest Excise Licence in the City and it's located on a spot that is reputed to be the exact centre of the City of London. And it's supposed to be haunted. I was often there on my own late at night before locking up and never saw anything paranormal though!
Nice one, thanks 😉
Excellent video. Loved it. One of our "hobbies" (and I'm sticking with that excuse) is going to London purely to search out pubs so we've been to a fair few of these, but some are now on our "go to list". We're only 50 minutes away by train so there's no excuse not to. Hubby just got his London pubs books out and it looks like we're planning another trip. Oh dear, how will I cope. (We went 2 weeks ago 😕😁).
Thanks so much! That's a great hobby to have ;-) Enjoy your next trip and stay well.
As a friend of mine said to me many years ago after a night out...'that's another 7 pubs on a very unhealthy list' 😊😎. I hope the both of enjoy your research 🍻
@@stevehendon4076 We have a very long unhealthy list - more to be added soon 😁 (sadly, I do actually keep a list!).
@@Charlienmeg hi 😊. To assist with your research and list making can I suggest watching 'Men Behaving Badly The Good Pub Guide'. If you can't be bothered to watch it all...then watch from about 13.10 for 3 or 4 mins. I loved Gary's subtle reaction to Dorothy's suggestion 🤣😊😎
@@stevehendon4076 I'll do that over breakfast and coffee 😀👍
Congratulations on the thousand subs! That didn't take long, not surprising with the quality of your videos.
That's so kind of you to say; thank you!
bloody marvelous stuff. thanks .
Really appreciate that spadger, thanks. If you like London pubs be sure to stay tuned for my next video ;-) Cheers and stay well.
Great stuff!
Thanks Stephen 😉
Half a dozen friends and I would always include the Lamb & Flag in our Friday night pub crawl of approximately ten pubs, after a few years we got to recognise a few faces and would always chat to Tony the bouncer. One Friday night we were quite refreshed, my mate Ozz had the whip, most of the notes were gone and about £30 was left in pound coins and silver, in walked a chap who was asking for spare change so he could get a bed and evening meal at the shelter down St Martin’s in the field ( near the Chandos ) he told us he needed £8 to get a room, a shower and a meal so we all added a few quid the whip and Ozz gave him the lot - he must of walked away with about £50 bless him.
Nice story; thanks for sharing :-)
@@Robslondon - cheers Rob. I have until COVID came along been a keen London pub drinker, jumping on the train with a few mates and get the last one home again. I also used to organise a Christmas pub crawl - attendees would have to pick two pubs each and would have to tell the group an interesting fact about the pub we were now standing in - I’ve kept this up and over the years have visited many pubs always with a keen interest in its history and location. I’ve learnt to spot the gin palaces, the stage coach inns , the ale houses and the Porter bars and of course look forward to visiting a few more again soon…NIc
@@nicaskey1 That's a great idea, hope you get baack to it soon
A good friend of mine who is an ex Boxer called Dixie Dean owned the Lamb and Flag with his business partner and ex Black cabbie Adie for twenty years. Dixie then had the Prince Arthur in Old Street for a number of years before he retired around 4 years ago.
These are great videos - keep them coming!
Thank you! I will do ;-) Thanks for watching.
I've watched this really enjoyable and informative video several times, thanks Rob.
I really appreciate that, thank you Reaper 😉
Very cool video. 👍
Thank you! 😊
@@Robslondon 😊
That was really GREAT !
Thank you so much! :-)
Absolutely brilliant, Rob.
Thanks so much.
Music great too. Evocative
I love Rob's London, it's just like my London used to be.
Do you know that tourist postcard with all the punks sitting on the park bench? I'm very proud to say I still know one of those individuals and I cut her hedge last week.
X
Lovely comment, thank you. And yes, I think I know the postcard you mean! 😉
Awesome video😀 hope you are gonna do more of these
Thanks Elaine! I’ll be starting work on the next one soon 🍺
Enjoyed your top ten London pubs tour, and also your tasteful jazz background music!
Thanks so much Glenn! If you enjoy the music be sure to check out the musicians (I’ve named them in the description); they’re really talented folk. Thanks again and stay well 🍺
Loving the London Pubs section Rob 👌 I'm down from North Scotland next week for a visit and intend on visiting some of these that I've not been to in previous visits....especially the ones with the historical links you've highlighted in many of your videos...thanks again 😊
Ah, great comment James thank you mate! Hope you enjoy your visit 😉🍺
There really is something extra special about London's hostelries. I guess because most have such a rich lengthy history, usually involving plenty of skullduggery and nefarious activity. I remember visiting The Grenadier many, many moons back, lovely welcoming venue. There was a particular ale, the name eludes me, which absolutely blew my socks off, lol. But then I've never been much for ale or lager, more of a whiskey drinker. I was meant to have gone into Soho at the time of the Admiral Duncan bombing, another favourite pub of mine back in the day, but I couldn't go at the last minute ...... what an escape I had! But in the true spirit of London folk everyone rallied round and supported those affected by that horrific event, which is what Londoners are renowned for. Great video.
Thanks so much for the wonderful comment and thoughts John. And that's quite a story about the Admiral Duncan bombing...wow. Remember that day well, utterly hideous- so glad fate intervened for you. Thanks again; stay well.
In the comedy series Bottom with Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson, they always go to the local pub called 'the Lamb and FLag". They mention it also in the first Live Show of Bottom.
Thanks Peter, I used to enjoy that show but have not seen it for many years; completely forgotten the reference!
@@Robslondon Loved both; I used to work on the Strand so the Lamb and Flag wasnt a secret to me, it was an essential passageway to get to Covent Garden so frequent stops happened. Loved Bottom too, but allss that Lamb and Flag was in Hammersmith.
Really interesting vlog Rob, thanks!
Thanks so much 😊
Excellent walk through of some of London pubs. Have you tried the Star Tavern near Victoria. It’s famous for the Great Train Robbery.
Cheers Johnny!
I have covered the Star, it’s in one of my Christmas specials. Was done during Covid though so didn’t get to film inside unfortunately. Stay well mate 🍺
I enjoyed the tour very much, Thank you.
Thanks Gos; much appreciated. Stay well.
❤ love this really interesting 😊
Cheers Ian!
My Grandfather served in the Royal Field Artillery in the Great War. When I was a boy in the 1950s, he would set me down with a map of London and point out his favourite pubs. Unfortunately, many of them had been destroyed in the Blitz.
What a wonderful- and rather sad- comment Jovan, thank you so much for sharing.
Greetings from Ireland!! Excellent video....really interesting
Thank you so much for the kind words Gerald. Stay well :-)
Very enjoyable, well done.
That's really kind of you to say; thank you Paul. Stay well.
cheers Rob really enjoyed this video
sat in a few of the pubs but think its a must September
in the grenadier and a toast to Sedgwick
Much appreciated Andy, thank you 😉
Superb thank you for the video.
Cheers James; stay well.
Excellent, interesting and informative!
Thanks Andrew!
Brilliant thanks 😊👍
Cheers Jim!
Nice to see some interesting stuff from my home city while I’m here in the Philippines. Thanks for the upload. Good quality vid, and interesting information. You’ve got another subscriber here.
Thank you so much for your kind words and support Edwardo; much appreciated :-) Stay well.
I was a courier in the 90s and remember riding my motorbike through the crowd of drinkers outside the Lamb and Flag more than once, was always packed on a summer Friday evening.
😄
Excellent really interesting thanks keep em coming
Thank you so much; will do :-)
Nice video, good work Rob.
Really appreciate that John, thank you
Good work on this video sir! Hope you are going to add more of these ale shops in future lists. May I suggest:
Dirty Dicks, Bishopsgate
The Printers Devil, Fleet Street
The Blind Beggar, Mile End Gate
Keep up the good work. Stay safe and well.
Thanks so much Mark. Good suggestions there too 😉
That's a great video, and I for one would love to see a follow-up! While 'The One Tun' maybe the inspiration for the pub, 'The Three Cripples', inspiration for the name itself surely came from much further out - 'The Three Crutches' (pronounced 'Crooches') at Strood, in Kent; which Dickens would have know well from his perambulations around his home at Gad's Hill, Higham.
Many thanks Kevin! And that’s an excellent point about the name.
Another absolute winner.
Thanks Richard!
Ya the old Lamb and Flag at Covent garden. Great watering hole
Love it ..Ive subscribed! nice
Thanks Andrew; good to have you here 😉 Cheers and stay well.
@@Robslondon Thank you ..just now watching all your uploads ..wonderful ..interesting, ..cheers ..
Greetings from Canada- I have been to several of these pubs and seek out new ones whenever I'm there. I may suggest, The Harp at Covent Garden and The Sussex Arms in Twickenham- it's like a constant beer festival there. The Dove at Hammersmith is a beautiful place. There are so many and I can't wait to cross the pond again. Maybe next year?
Thank you so much Lawrence; they’re good choices. Cheers 🍺
Hello Lawrence , I hope you make it back soon, London isn’t quiet itself at the moment because we miss you and people like you. It’s not to do with money it’s to do with the atmosphere of the city , which as you know is wonderful. Next time try to visit the Battle of Britain monument on embankment , An airman are running out of the monument in bronze as he scrambles. Visit The Red Lion pub nearby 48 Parliament street, where Churchill sometimes went. London never flags or fails. Especially because of Canadas support. All the best.
Great vid. The Lamb and Flag used to have (probably still does) names of various customers on metal plaques along the bar from the days when it was a market pub ("Freddie the Frog" etc), it also used to host trad jazz music on a Sunday night.
Many thanks :-) Interesting, I didn't know about the jazz music.
I've seen lots of different ideas for "smokers' beer gardens' but "The One Tun" set-up is a new one on me - just stools beside the window ledges, with lamps and ashtrays - genius!!
Ha ha!
There are loads of pubs like this, particularly in London where outside space is non-existent. Leadenhall Market and Artillery Row have numerous pubs set up just like this. We love it 👍
Is smoking still allowed inside pubs? I haven't been to UK since the late 1980's and most pubs allowed smoking then, but just wondering what the current laws are about smoking inside pubs? I was always bothered by cigarette smoke and went to pubs that weren't too overly crowded or had good ventilation. Some pubs I went to had a folk music club that met once a week, usually in a separate room or upstairs and I remember those were designated non-smoking areas.
@@suzannelawson9215 No smoking inside at all these days. Most pubs will have some kind of outside area though where you can smoke. If not, then it's the smoke of shame by just standing outside on the street.
@@suzannelawson9215 Hey Suzanne; no, you can't smoke 𝒊𝒏 any pubs nowadays. It's the same everywhere; restaurants, cinemas stations etc, all non-smoking.
Fantastic channel, just subscribed
Thank you so much! Good to have you here 😉
Great vid Rob
Thanks so much Darren. Stay well.

Great video. Love the town of Ramsgate
Thank you so much Sam.
Very interesting. Thanks
You're very welcome Basil, thank you.
The "One Tun" provokes the question as to what was up with the other tun.
Very nice work. I found the Grenadier by accident and made a second visit with my son. Wish we could stop by more often but it's more than a Friday stop from Texas. Good luck in future. One of my other Favorites is the Churchill Arms if you ever head that way.
Thank you so much Jake. Yes, I do know the Churchill Arms; it's famous for its floral display outside; good choice. Thanks again and stay well.
I like your cheery voice, cool stories too, nice
That’s very kind of you to say; many thanks and thank you for watching 😄
I seem to remember The Lamb and Flag being mentioned a lot on that classic early 90’s comedy show “Bottom” - great to see it in the flesh!
I'll have to rewatch that now! ;-)
Was just about to comment that there could be closer Lamb and Flags pubs to the Hammersmith hard men’s home.
Thought I’d Google first and your right. It is the same pub. I’ll shut my mouth, zip.
Keats wrote ode to a nightingale in the garden of Spaniards inn
I didn't know that Helen! I always assumed it was written in the garden of his home in Hampstead, although a pub would make more sense :-)
Tremendous pub info Rob, 👏
Thanks! Signed up to your channel 😉
@@Robslondon cheers Rob, you've got some varied interesting stuff, I'll have a plough through over next few weeks, cheers. I've subbed ya by the way, forgot to tell ya before

Thanks for no ads Rob 🙌🏼
Ah… I do use ads usually! 😂 This is my job now so I need them 😬
@@Robslondon I must just have good luck. Thanks for all your hard work, these are great👌🏼
Nice. A couple of suggestions for you: The Blind Beggar, Whitechapel; The Leather Bottle, Earlsfield; The Eagle (Up and down the City Road, In and out the Eagle; Old Street);
Thanks so much Al :-) The Blind Beggar and the Eagle are definitely on the list- I almost included the Eagle on this one. The Leather Bottle is a great idea; cheers!
Cheers! 🍻
Cheers Mario!
Great video. New subscriber here!
Cheers Todd! Great to have you along!
When it comes to pub names you sure use your imagination. Okay we have a few good names in Dublin, but normally they are boring. There is a pub on a crossroad near me and its called the four roads, now there's ten out of ten for apathy. Another nice video thanks.
😂
Irish pubs are usually simply named after the proprietor. British pubs have wild names.
@@qwertyTRiG Prefer your system.
Irish pubs just cut to the chase. There's no messing around with peculiar names for the establishment, as that takes up valuable drinking time!
I just watched all your london pubs back to back , all very good. I would like to suggest The Half Moon in Herne Hill. It has a very interesting musical past, I’m sure you will be interested when you research it
Thank you so much Alan… and you read my mind; I’ve been planning on covering the Half Moon for some time now, already done some of the research! So stay tuned, it will show up I promise 😉 Thanks again and stay well 🍺
I live in suffolk and when i visit london i love to pop into the lamb and flag with my son for a couple of pints fab pub
Yes, it's one of my favourites ;-) Thanks for the lovely comment and stay well.
Been to all these..several times...memories! Thanks..try Highgate N6

brilliant
Cheers Dan!
Excellent video! It is on my bucket list to go to a real English Pub one day.
Thank you so much! I hope you make it soon ;-)
