The Loggerheads, Shrewsbury

excellent, traditional town centre local with 4 small bars. The Smoke Room was our favourite with benches all round the walls and shove halfpenny. Good beer too. A real find.

The Duke Of Wellington, Marylebone

Sad to say the old Duke has been cleared out, and all the memorobilia has gone. It's a great shame because this pub had real character. Now it will be another clone bar. Another bit of old London gone for good.

What we need is a Pub Renovation Society that buys up horrible modernised pubs and stealthily puts them back to how they used to be. One week the music is cut off; next the dartboard is back; then the spotlights are removed ... and so on!
