Northumberland Avenue

Go back to Whitehall

Advance to The Strand

Pub: The Sherlock Holmes
Address: 10-11 Northumberland Street

People weren't just drinking outside, but on the other side of the street! Inside, the bar is decked out with Holmes memorabilia (including the head of the Hound of the Baskervilles). A television shows the definitive Jeremy Brett TV episodes.



Once we had our drinks, Greg "Tug" Withnail asked the other tokens to rate their levels of intoxication from 1 (able to competently and legally land a 747) to 10 (in need of a hospital or morgue.)

The results were as follows:

James "Ironman" Llewellyn: 5
Kate "Mad Hatter" Llewellyn: 3.5
Sarah "Jalopy" McDonald: 7
Tom "Badger Badger Badger Badger" Aston: "Er... eh?" (Taken to mean 11)
Gareth "Bootilicious" Rees: 5.5
Kenny "Dirty Dawg" Cramer: 8
Greg "Tug" Withnail: 2

Greg "Tug" Withnail: "And how about women Tom?"

Sarah "Jalopy" McDonald: "Greg showed me his pubes when we were kids!"

Tom "Badger Badger Badger Badger" Aston: "The number of Greater London pubs I've done is literally thousands."

Whitehall

Go back to Trafalgar Square

Advance to Northumberland Avenue

Pub: The Lord Moon of the Mall
Address: 16-18 Whitehall

We ran into another MBPC group here. They were easy to spot because they were actually taking turns to wear a pink ladies hat. (Was this a nod to Dave Lister (LINK)? We failed to ask!)

We swapped cameras and had pictures taken with them.

Hopefully, we'll soon be able to include some of their stuff here, as they were told about www.monopolyboardpubcrawl.co.uk

James rejoined the group after a successful baggage sortie and change of t-shirt. After he'd gulped his drink we departed.

Pall Mall

Go back to Piccadilly

Advance to Trafalgar Square

Pub: The Red Lion

Address: 23 Crown Passage

"Shut down all the garbage mashers on the Detention Level!"

.

The staff at this pub were obviously well used to MBPCers. They were welcoming and showed genuine interest in our drinks cards.(LINK)

Gareth tried to skin a beermat to post it to himself, but gave up.

Kate "Mad Hatter" Llewellyn: "Is that a lime then?"

Sarah "Jalopy" McDonald: "There's lime in these G and Ts. Classy place."

Gareth "Bootilicious" Rees: "Is that blood on the wall outside?"
