I mainly drank around UCL in bloomsbury and down at the Princess Louise near high holborn. Cosy snugs and a refurbished Victorian ambiance in the early 80s.
My parents drank around Shepherd's Bush in the 50s and 60s and "the goons" used to refine their schtik in the pub. Fun times!
- tetris11 2y agoThere was one pub not far off TCR that had a nice sofa and fireplace. We'd always have one of us duck out early to secure the spot an hour or two before.

Around the corner is the Hercules Pillars which has been substantially refurbished, but still very comfortable and has some separation going on. Most of the pubs around Bloomsbury have gone though. There are a few, but hard to keep it all going in an area where a lot of the housing lies empty - just owned by foreign investors, who are using it as a store of value they hope will appreciate faster than other asset classes.
