    As a veteran of the old circle tube line pub crawl (many years ago and lost in a drunken haze), I’m proud it only took one week for someone to come with a modern equivalent & announce it on the jubilee weekend. Very British urban adventure. Well done rob.

    Working my way through the pub-themed episodes on this channel and greatly enjoying it. I used to frequent The Flying Horse (or The Tottenham, as it was back then) in the late 1980s and became good friends with a young American couple who were working there. Visited them in the USA a few years later after they'd gone back home from their travels. Still in touch with one of them on Facebook, over 35 years later. I was in London in July and staying just off Tottenham Court Road, so popped in for a pint. First time there in decades. Lovely memories.

      It’s a bit late now though… It comes from my original website; when I created the name it wasn’t possible to put an apostrophe in the web address, so I had to create a blend of the two words… and that became the brand! 🤣

    I worked on the building sites in London in 1989 to 1990. Loved the tube and the overhead rail - I lived in Palmers Green so my tube stop was Wood Green or if I took the overhead from Moorgate (I think) then it stopped at Palmers Green unless I fell asleep, then woke up in Hertford North or Welwyn Garden City (I think they were the end of the lines from memory). I woke up late one night at a station I think it was called Watton at Stone and the station master called out to me and told me their were no more trains for the night, I was feeling glum until he told me there was a train coming back empty to London and he’d ask the Driver to stop and drop me off at Palmers Green, which is what happened - what a nice thing to do. I love your videos of London railways, I’m back home in Ireland now but the happy memories of London will always stay with me.

    Hello Rob
    Was a great way to present the new Elizabeth Line. We are looking forward to taking this line our next time in London. We did get to visit the bell factory and its museum before it closed which is a shame it was a jem. We did buy a small bell that they made. There is another small museum by the hospital which has some of the Jack the Ripper letters. Which name escape me but it is near the pub you featured. We have not been in any of pubs though mention, I know that my grandparents visit Dirty Dicks pub in 1970 on there visited London mentioned near Liverpool station. I know this because they took a picture of the pub. Thanks for the great video. Take Care Chris and Sandra of Canada.

One I went to after work on Friday with the POETS club. Being a girl, I was an honorary member. POETS stands for, Piss On Everything Tomorrow's Saturday. It was 5 Software Engineers and me.

    Thank you for the wonderful video, Rob. Really interesting and fun to watch.
    I did a trial run (halves of shandy) of the full crawl, but in reverse-order to finish at Paddington. As The Abbey Arms doesn't open until the evening on weekdays I had to forgo that one and have a soft drink from WH Smiths in Abbey Wood station instead. I got caught out with the Running Horse being closed on Mondays and had to substitute the nearby Spread Eagle. It was a superb adventure with some really great pubs. My favourite three pubs were Streeties, The Gun and The Good Samaritan. When I do this "for real" with a group, I think it will be in two halves. Thanks for the great idea!

    The Abbey Arms was a simple chose being the only pub in Abbey Wood 😁. The station was elevated up onto the flyover. The Crossrail platforms were the original station platforms and before the flyover was constructed in the 80s there was a level crossing where the Crossrail gate line is now positioned.

    • @Robslondon
      @Robslondon  2 года назад +1

      Yep! I’m lucky it had a good story to go with it 😂 I saw photos of the level crossing when researching it, really wanted to include it but it would have been too much of a diversion sadly. Cheers and stay well 😉

    I used to go to a nightclub in Farringdon (Turnmills), many years ago. It was demolished to make way for the new station. I want to thank you though for showing me the area in daylight for the first time in my life!
    Looking toward to the Reading to Shenfield pub crawl video in the autumn where Rob gets less and less coherent the further east he goes!

    Thanks Rob, I spent my first 12 years in London and still miss it all those years later. We used the underground mostly in those days as the busses were a bit of a diagrace. I was on a bus one day when the transmission fell out of the bottom right outside the Olympia but I was only one stop away from home so I walked!

    • @Robslondon
      @Robslondon  2 года назад

      Gosh! That reminds me of an incident when I was young; we were on a bus and the driver must have gone the wrong way, as he had to turn the bus around in the road.
      Needless to say, it got stuck! I remember all the men on the bus got out and tried to bounce/push/dislodge it from the kerb!

    Hello Rob, we did this walk on Friday and loved the explanations of the stations and pubs. Our only dislikes were the rather long walks to The Gun and Streeties, the latter was quite a long walk but I appreciate that perhaps there were no nearer pubs of character. Great idea thank you.

    • @Robslondon
      @Robslondon  2 года назад

    Thanks for braving the weather to film this! The Elizabeth line certainly looks impressive, but I don't think it will be of much use for any journeys I'm likely to make anytime soon.
    I've drunk in The Gun a couple of times and (I think) also Woodin's Shades (though that would have been at least 18 tears ago...). When I worked in Canary Wharf (2006-2020), my favourite 'real' pub was The North Pole in Manilla Street, until it sadly closed in 2014. I'll have to give your other featured pubs a go sometime.

    Rob that was another brilliant video, great work.. I’ve been to six of the pubs including doing a DJ gig at the Betsy Trotwood some 20 odd years ago! However unlike your excellent video I tried the Elizabeth Line last night and it was found wanting. Whilst the actual on board journey times are quick the ‘inter connectivity’ ( bit like the DLR ) seems lacking - the journey last night took well over an hour from Lea Bridge Stn - Stratford- Liverpool St - Paddington - Ken High St. Oh & thanks pointing out there is a direct change to the Bakerloo line at Paddington…. Hopefully when they joined together it’ll get quicker! Also thanks for the Abbey Wood background & William Morris - never heard of it before! 😊👍 Looking forward to your next video 👍
