Good Pub Names

[Clive Evans]

I am not very fond of the fashion of re-naming pubs. EG Slug & Lettuce etc. Equally not all that fond of Wetherspoons. But they seem to have come up trumps naming the mega-pub by the Tower:- The Albert and the Lion. You have to be fairly ancient to appreciate this one.

We call one of my locals The Misogynist's Arms.

Also, the Butcher's Arms, run by a guy who lost an arm, also loses the final S

Takes me back, my dear old grandad used to read it (the lion & albert) to us as kids.

Thanks for the reminder, it took me back to a happy place

The Canary and Linnet in Little Fransham on the A47 in Norfolk, not so many miles from me, is a well-named pub – for it’s midway between Norwich and King’s Lynn, the Canaries and the Linnets in footballing terms.

Sid: the KD is one of my locals.

In younger days, but after Albert & The Lion, is the ‘Live and Let Live‘ in Forest Gate, where we used to drink ‘Light & E’.

FG is the place of my birth (which means my Birth Certificate will forever carry District of West Ham ).

When i was a kid and the family went to Sarfend for a Sunday day out we stopped at the Halfway Inn on the A127 for the adults to have a couple of drinks. Nowa'days you probably get to Sarfend from Hackney in around 40mins as against the old days when i'm guessing it took around 2 hours (plus half hour drinks).
