London Loves: A pint at the pub

Although I didn't get to attend any pub quiz nights this time around (ooh, I love a pub quiz!), we did visit many a pub during our stay in London.

The first pub we went to was this fabulous old farmhouse. It was a birthday party and all the cousins were there.

Alan and Sawyer enjoyed some traditional English pub fare.

Paddy and wee baby Joe had a pint!

Then the two of them chased all our combined kids around the playground for a bit. Yes, that's right! A pub with a playground. Awesome.


In central London, I just had to swing by the Maple Leaf Pub, near Covent Garden. Oh Canada!

A little bit of home... I bet they watched the Olympic gold medal hockey game here last February!

Pubs in London often have outdoor spaces. This one was a few tram stops from our hotel and upon discovering it had cheap food and colouring books for the kids, we visited it a few times. Don't you love that lamp post. Hello, Narnia...

Cheers!

Sawyer and I with my dear friend Barbara. The rest of the kids are off playing the slot machines.

See? Told you.

  2. That is something the English is good at, the pubs are just something else there!

  3. I so miss the London pubs! They are the best places to hang out, have a meal and a chatter. Sigh.

    I'm also a big fan of pub quizzes. Before we had the tsunamis, we used to front up to a local for a regular trivia night with a bunch of mates. Best night of the week. I'm such a nerd, but easily pleased! x

  5. That looks like a lot of fun! I can't believe they had a playground. That can't be safe for the drunk adults :)
