drinking in Bradford's roughest pubs! - ruclips.net/video/z_JgoAobhNU/видео.html
Charlie drank in the three crowns in old street they're all from Hoxton👍
great vids, just found you, when you go to the pubs, can you show what beers are on tap? that would be cool, take care. larry from canada
@@TheMississauga333 gonna do that more mate yeh 👍
Ya that be great. You're so lucky to have pubs like that. I'm in the country in canada and we have nothing. I miss my London porter
Great. But they have changed so much over the years.
Nothing wrong with the Blind Beggar. Great pub and brilliant people.
Yea it looked good to me
Just abit odd. Probs because of the history when you're having a swift one
First time I went to Blind Beggar it blew my mind. Thought it was going to be rough.
Gourmet burgers and food. Bier garden with koya carp and Ibiza music. Well chilled.
I used to have a few pints every now and again with a older mate in the Blind Beggar unto 25 years ago when my mate died, unfortunately ain't been back again as I moved area , but may do someday!
Certainly been modernised. I was kinda disappointed tbh, with the history you'd have thought they'd have kept it in it's old theme. Bit characterless now tbh. @@petertheboomscott2104
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.
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.
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 👍
Whitley’s has been knocked down now
@berryboo5390 I very much doubt that seeing as it's a grade 11 listed building in London, restored again, extended or converted maybe but definitely not knocked down..
Another brilliant video, one of my favourite channels
It's criminal the price of a pint in London😂😂
Deffo mate! Can't afford a proper sesh
love it mate
Come to Australia lol
Try living ere bruv , earn more, no worries.
Melbourne boy here beer prices are crazy now @@cliffecliffe8358
new to the channel seen a few all great to watch thanks love vlogs like this
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
Ahhh cheers pal. Really appreciate it. Got a longer London one coming soon 👍🍺
@@honestplaces super Al look forward to that.....think you have already done Blackpool but there's some right dives here you could go for a pint in😂😂 also we have the cheapest pint around £1.80 for a fosters or john Smith's in the ardwick I no your a Guinness guy tho haha
@@wayneeboiii122 deffo gonna go back there, plenty more dingy pubs to get in!
@@honestplaces look forward to the video can I suggest a pub haha the lifeboat on Foxhall road 😁
Cracking vid Danny some great insight, also watched yourself & Wendell around these pubs, 2 great tubers in 1 hit, top work fella👊
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!
🤣🤣 really wanted to see inside that one
Great video as always mate, always a good watch...thank you x
Cheers pal 👍
Nice and hoppy, banging!! Cheers fella, let's have some longer ones, a nice live Friday night drink along in the sunshine!
🤣 cheers mate. Got a longer London one soon, some right joints 👍🍺
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.
True mate, deffo venture to different beers abroad. Did have a tasty lime lager this time round, nice change
@@honestplaces It applies here too. English beer is amazing ( so are Scottish and Welsh beers of course). Our beer is something we should celebrate with pride as part of our culture. Anywhere you go ( unless the place is a proper shit hole) will have some great local breweries doing banging beers.
Great vlog .....really intresting stuff!
Great video fella! Always a grand watch
Cheers pal. Got a longer one planned as people keep saying they're too short.
this is awesome.the pubs are true to what u see and working class great channel
Good chat, thanks & best wishes from Western Scotland.
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.
Already set in stone. Thanks for the history pal 👍
I really doubt that; the killing of Cornell was opportunistic after he was spottted drinking on "their manor". It was not planned.
That's interesting. I always thought it was a random thing cos he was in their area. Not much point otherwise as the Richards were locked up anyway.
@@darrenfry4695 Try reading what I wrote, Cornell had ordered the suit which has been partly made, the Krays cancelled the order the day before and paid up the difference so the tailors wouldn't be out of pocket, the Krays were regular customers and both our families were very close. It was also done prior to the shooting to enforce the message to the community. Whether you choose to believe it or not is down to you, although personally I would refrain making comments on things you have no knowledge about.
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!
Yeh prices mate, spent so much, need to lay low for abit 🤣 cheers pal, appreciate it 👍
The Cockpit round the corner is a much better pub
@@CS09256 was so many on google maps, my credit card couldn't hack them all 🤣
I had an alcohol free pint close to there and was £6! Wish I still drank alcohol at those prices 😂
Love your videos ... big fan from Toronto!!
Great video. Well done for coming down to London!
Good pub tour mate, you need to do some more estate pubs 👍
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.
London is the best city in the world. Unless you are xenophobic or a racist.
I was born and raised in London, till the age of 11. We moved to Canada, I went back after 40 years and can honestly say nobody downtown London spoke English.
@@WaitAMinute1989 Well, thats a lie. I live in London. I don't speak any other languages. Am I just imagining that people speak English here? Yes, its one of the most multicultural cities on the planet. Yes, you hear other languages. That doesn't mean that no one speaks English. Muppet.
@@WaitAMinute1989talking nonsense the pair of ya
As some1 born and raised in London I’m sick of hearing these lies from miserable undercover racists like you😂😂😂 majority of London speak English u lot jus come here n always get robbed
Great vid...keep em coming..
Nice content fella, I wonder what the twins would of thought about their old stamping ground today if they were around to see it
The pub they owned i think they would be happy....nice old classy joint 👍🍺
I'll ask Jay cartwright, his dad plays poker with Danny Dyer and the Kray twins' they're hold up in his warehouse
@@AaronPlaysGH 🤣
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)
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
Thanks for sharing 👍 interesting, would like to visit these pubs. Subscribed 😊
From Glasgow 🏴
Cheers pal. Get yourself down there.
The blind beggar didn’t look half as ropey as my local walkabout did when I went in yesterday!
Great content 👍
Interesting tour , thank you , keep up the good work 👏
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 😅
Rougher in real life 🤣🤣 cheers pal. I did tower hamlets. But as you say there are alot of dodgy areas
Great filming. . Subscribed
Cheers pal. Appreciate it 👍
Recently subscribed love your content brother keep it up 👍🏻
I don't mind paying a bit extra if I'm getting quality but otherwise its just a rip, its not just pints in London but things in general.
Brilliant buddy..cheers
Excellent channel mate.
Great to see the legendary pubs still open, even some from my more recent memories are now long shut down and gone :(
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.
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.
Get it done mate 👍 cheers pal
Is the marquis of queen’s still open at the start of valence road
I like this vid.Good vid and good walkabout..
2nd ,keep up the good work, great channel 👏
🤣 👍 cheers pal. Appreciate it
Great vlog. Have a great day.
Cracking little vid mate. 👌
Cheers pal 👍
Love how you started in Highgate
Love the vids mate! What do you do for work?
Window cleaner 🤣 cheers pal
Really interesting video bud enjoyed it cheers 🍺
Great stuff, even Wendell makes an appearance! Could have been worse with the prices to be fair would expect anything in London.
He has a cheeky vid coming out soon!
That's krayzy! Sorry I had to 🙈🤣🤣 Enjoyed the vid, you've gained a new sub! 👍
🤣🤣 top comment so far. Cheers pal. Appreciate it 👍
Great vlogs ✌️🍻❤️
Cheers pal. Appreciate it 👍
Nice vid mate, can get a guinness round here in Wembley Park for just over 4 quid, which isn't too bad for London...
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…
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.
Great video man, nice one. 🫶
Can someone explain to me what the the elastic band and sponge on the camera at 6:57 is for? I’ve seen a few RUclipsrs with this odd set up?
Acts as a (sound)filter over er the mic...for unwanted noise
@@darrenmuso2621 thanks mate!
Used to live across the corner from Carpenters Arms, what a great pub!
Good video. Very nice picture quality. 👍
Cheers pal
Great video
Great old pubs in London!!
You know it
Was the Carpenters pub used in the Kray film with Tom Hardy?
Fantastic pubs love a drink in them regular
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
Great video bro 👍
Nice bit of character in both ❤
Cool video big man👍
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.
Proper Gangsters, great phrase 😄
Loving the content. Great to see real Britain. ❤
Cheers. Appreciate it
@@honestplaces Not a problem. 🙂
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.
No.....🤣 yeh it very odd in there, bizzare feel about it
My partner won't go on a shopping holiday to London anymore because she calls it stab city and is worried about her purse getting taken.
@@honestplaces he's having you dipshit 🙄🤦♂ see? Northerners will believe anything
@@stevemcgowen unless you are a-teenage boy in a sink-estate gang environment, there is virtually no chance of being stabbed in London.
Most locals around the area are honest but of course a tourist 'hot-spot' attracts low lifes..
Been in the Blackfriar, excellent real ale pub.
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 video mate
Cheers pal. Appreciate it 👍
I half expected Zeppelins manager Peter Grant coming back from the dead and tackling our main man telling him to keep his lips sealed!!!
Amazing video 🍻
Brilliant video.
Cheers pal
Love your content
Cheers pal
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.
Deepsea diver 🤣
great video man
Cheers pal
Thnks for a bit of history that really was the founder of gang culture in London
True
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!
Full video together was the day after 👍
Cool, I'll keep an eye out for it.
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.
Was in the Blackfriar last weekend. One of the better pints of Timothy Taylor's Landlord that I've had.
Aint had that in years. Proper pint
What was the pub when in the film Ronnie says "I came here for a shootout"?
Who knows 🤣
"surprised there's still not blood on the floor to be honest" LOL
Wow 5.70 a pint mate. Love the videos
Crazy init. Cheers pal
Id call that cheap for London tbh.
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 😂😂😂
the Carpenters Arms is was an excellent pub and was heavy West ham presence on game days it was always packed ... loads of caharacters
New to your channel and loving it ❤from Manchester
Manchester is my home town! 👍
@@honestplaces city of or greater?
Was wendall there by chance or are u lot doing a collab?
Try going to brixton, croydon or peckham . Find a estate pub down there.
Did tower hamlets pal. Do wanna go peckham next time
@@honestplaces rather you than me. Not at night either.
That last gaff 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Was bangin....prices did reflect that 😭
@@honestplacesthey take a lot of tours in there cos of it's history. So they probably cash in like most touristy places
i allways stop in The Blackfriar when i pop into london before i get the train home i like the pub
Yeh it is a nice spot that. Good location
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.
"Looks like it's been airdropped" is my new favorite insult
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
Yeh it was mate, did a dodgy pub video with him the next day 👍 yeh flat roof pubs mate, always an eye opener!
@@honestplaces Great stuff, was hoping you'd start some collabs. 👍
Nice nostalgic look at the respectable gangsters of yesteryear..
Have you done the Rippers pubs ?
Good little video ive been in both them pubs. You should have took a little stroll round there old flats in cedra court.
Cheers pal. Thinking on i should have 🤔
Not really a stroll. I found it abit out of the way and when I turned up the local residents got really iffy with us. I think they were Jewish or something and had built all these sheds n stuff on the paths n there were abandoned toys n everything strewn about. Not very welcoming, we quickly moved on lol @@honestplaces
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 !
