which one?
So is mine, The Griffin on Leonard Street. It has remained a grotty old-man pub in the face of Shorditch fashion bendery, no mean feat.

Ever been to the Wenlock Arms?
Similarly, very much a local pub in defiance of the bendery. Superb beer, and sometimes a live jazz band stuffed into one corner if you turn up on the right evening. (Edit: about halfway up Wenlock Road)

Is The Griffin
the one with strippers for a quid? Or am I thinking of somewhere else. I stick around Liverpool Street if I'm drinking round there now. But I frequent Soho and Borough a lot more as to stay sane.

I thought I'd miss drinking around London but Newcastle is a million times more enjoyable.

that's the Griffin in Clerkenwell.
The Gun near Liverpool St is OK.

The Griffin isn't far from Liverpool St itself - up towards Shoreditch, left at The Light Bar and it's a left about halfway up.

It's a bit grim but, in the words of the mighty Lemmy Kilmister 'that's the way I like it, baby'...

Figures!
I've completely lost all knowledge of London since moving to Newcastle.

I'm genuinely embarrassed and I hate myself for it. I got lost trying to find the John Snow in Soho last Monday, I nearly cried.

EDIT - Not the Snow, Tin Pan Alley off Charing Cross Road. Christ.
