You’d go back to the All Bar One, but you didn’t like Nethergate’s only London tied house??

Ahem, yes. At least the scores were the right way round. The pub reminded me a lot of one of our favourites in Leeds, the Duck and Drake.

I can’t speak for Matt, but I think that the area at the time of day put me off a little bit and I was beginning to get fed up of our trek around London in the cold and dark.
