      Lol Michael there were not so many dapper gentlemen wearing pith helmets at that time and I never saw the chap at the Maple Leaf, but i used to see a pith helmet wearing gentleman using my university library at that time which was not that far away. I loved th Nell Gwynn it was more genteel those days and not that busy on a Saturday evening and it closed very early. Remembering one of the regulars always putting on "Kinky Boots" on the juke box and banging my head regularly going to the toilet.

    Once again a very interesting video. On my recent trip to London I had my sunday roast as usual at the Dove. I book a table months ahead, as soon as I plan my travel. This time I also visited Nell Gwynn, for the first time. I must have walked quite nearThe Ship and Shovell, but came down Villiers street where I visited Gordon's winebar which is a fantastic place you can talk about in a video about the Embankment 😂. I had a closer look at Cleopatra's Needle. My most regular pub in London is The Victoria near Paddington, since I allways have a hotell in or around Sussex Gardens. Greetings from Norway. Takk!

    My God, as soon as i saw the terrace of The Dove, it brought back a painful memory from about 1999. I'd forgotten all about it until that moment. The Nell Gwynne I have fond memories of, working just around the corner at the Vaudeville in the 80s.
    Id like to add the Cask and Glass in Wilfred St. SW1 to that list. Used to be a perfect place for a little intimate téte a téte, back in the day...

    You really do get about and find some amazing little places tucked away. That Dove looks a lovely place to visit. I get the feeling it was a real locals place given all the names you said lived near by and those that visited. I love those sort of places. I feel that with that sort of patronage you can almost smell and feel the years gone by in those old walls. History is an amazing thing.
    I hope you and family are all well Rob. As always stay safe and best regards.

    Rob, you've done it again! I love your pub crawls, especially when I get the history behind them.
    The Cock & Lion on Easleys Mews was a rather cozy place. They served a Cole slaw that my wife continues to rave about. Frankly, I was more interested in the ale.
    I am in the process of rebuilding the family room bar that I constructed 38 years ago. While it won't technically be a "public house" as that term implies, it will be open twenty-four hours a day to family and friends, and there's never a bill. If I don't charge anyone for anything I am not required to be licensed.
    As for the smallest bar in the world, I suspect that the Colonial Inn in Concord, Massachusetts might just be smaller than that at the Dove. Based on your video footage, I'd say the Guinness people might have to eat a little humble pie and award that distinction to the colonist. I'll grab a few photos of it the next time I visit there and send them along to you.
    Again, your research and presentation is superb. Thank you for your hard work.

    The Dove - the only one I recall being in - has a sort of built in privacy, depending on which direction you're coming from. I recall almost not having the joy and delight of seeing Chiswick House and gardens simply because of the bloomin' railings down the middle of the Great Weat Road which require you to walk half a mile in either direction to get to a crossing. I'm too old for going over the top these days 😂

    A few years ago I was invited to St James’s Palace for an international trade dinner to be hosted by the Duke of York. I thought that as it was a government event booze might be lacking, so I sought a pre-event drink. I came across the Red Lion and had a couple of pints to ready myself. In the end the dinner was accompanied by a wide range of beverages and I ended quite tipsy in the company of the Philippine Ambassador! The Red Lion is a hidden gem, a must visit.

    About 15 years ago I was in the Red Lion in Crown Passage one Saturday when a group of guys came in dressed for a wedding. The wedding had apparently been called off, so the groom and his mates did the Monopoly Board challenge, having a drink in a pub on every pub on the Monopoly Board and the Red Lion is the closest pub to Pall Mall. I don't know how for into the challenge they were or how many more pubs they had to visit, but they were certainly pretty merry.

    Really interesting Rob. All new pubs to me except for The Pineapple which I know is the local of Tweedy from Tweedy Pubs UA-cam! Thanks very much and look forward to your next video and hope it is a ghost one for the winter evenings and please do include the London stories from my book My Family Ghosts and other Strange Happenings as I am sure that your viewers will enjoy them!

    On a chilly sunday evening waiting to go in the garden to wait for my badger friends to come for their supper, the thought a warm pub and pint of bitter is most appealing. ❤

    Either of these pubs are interesting, nice video about these 5 pubs in London. However my main pub is basically around the corner from where I live in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, and is called Residency For The People. The two owners are both friends of mine. In any case cheers mate!

    I spent a lot of time in the Nell Gwynne in the early 2000s. Not sure I would describe it as cosy. Characterful certainly. The stairs down to the toilets are a hair-raising experience especially after a few pints. It was also threatened with closure for redevelopment in 2004 or thereabouts but thankfully reprieved. The landlady at the Ship is lovely and the staff tend to be very friendly. The Opera Tavern next to the Coliseum is very cosy upstairs with lovely leather banquettes and Sam Smith's Museum Ale

    Hi Rob. What a delightful video, thank yo, jjust the thing on a dark and cold november early evening. . I wonder, is it possible to walk the Thames towpath from The Dove to Strand on the Green? That stretch of the Thames is part of the annual University Boat Race route - used to go to watch the start in my younger days, before we had a television. .
