Having a pint in Gatwick Airport. Got me thinking about what the best kind of pint is. Airport pint is up there, obviously. First pint at a summer wedding? The anticipatory solo pint while waiting for a mate on a Saturday afternoon? Impromptu after-work pint on a Thursday?

Here's where I'm currently at on the map of places to get a drink (non-club, for free) in London late (earliest closure 2am). I'll keep adding when I can be bothered to look! Up to 109.

Every mid-sized English city has:
1) 47 post-hipster eateries with Brewdog-adjacent branding
2) grand, crumbling Victorian buildings
3) a post-modern shopping centre full of chain restaurants
4) a flourishing skate / goth scene centred around a town square

Think I might have found London's dodgiest boozer: the Hind & Hart in deepest, darkest Colindale. A pub so off-grid it doesn't even appear on Google maps. I think it may have shut last month, sadly.

Just got ID’d. But on the other hand, last night two Gen Z girls walked past my table at the pub talking loudly about a bloke they thought was fit, and when I half-looked up from my pint at the noise, they made a point of saying “we weren’t talking about you, obviously”

The most powerful autumn feeling is stepping outside of your local pub at half-time in the late Sunday kick-off, three pints deep, hangover dissipating, to have a cigarette. The air is filled with smoke, somnolence, and magic. Something slow-cooked is waiting for you at home.

A couple of months back, I went to Caledonian Road’s The Tarmon to drink 6 - 8 pints of continental lager and try and find out how they can remain £3.50. Me on wet-led pubs and the price of a pint!
‘The price you’re paying today for a full measure of amber nectar in the capital, with its swivel-eyed lust for making its residents as poor as possible, is untenably high.’

Banning cigs outside pubs will be the death of a lot of them. But if they’re that worried about the deadbeat bums who don’t smoke, they should give the cool kids Danish-style smoking backrooms to do it together in in peace.

My tweet about PJ O’Connor’s got me thinking about late pubs. Tempted to compile a map of all the non-club spaces in London open after 2am
