Exploring London's Pubs (Volume 3: A Christmas Special)

London is famous for its many pubs, most of which have an intriguing tale or two to tell. In this Christmas special, we’ll be exploring 6 of them… all of which have names related to the nativity.
So wrap up warm, and let’s get going!
Cheers! 🍻
Thank you so much to all of you who’ve supported robslondon this past year; your kind words mean so much to me and they really have helped this channel to grow beyond my wildest expectations.
So again- from the bottom of my heart- thank you. Have a wonderful Christmas and best of luck for the new year.

Dear Rob. Thank you so very much for your series of videos. I’ve really enjoyed them; always interesting and wonderfully diverting after a tedious day working from home. You must spend so much time time researching but I have a feeling that’s the aspect you enjoy! I send you all best wishes to you and yours for the Season and look forward to some more armchair adventures and excursions in your company! Clair

[@Robslondon]

Thank you for such a lovely comment Clair, that means so much to me. And yes, you're right about the research! How did you guess? :-) Have a wonderful Christmas and thanks again; stay well.

[@orlando1a1]

A fantastic video - it made me feel very nostalgic and proud to be a City of London-born Cockney. Thank you, Rob!

I had no idea that I had missed so many years of you1r super videos pn which I am just catching up! This was very emotional at times but had all your unique hallmarks of thorough research sand enjoyable professionalism. Thank you again!🤓 Rob

Bless you Rob! Thank you- and thanks for watching a Christmas special out of season!

[@PurpleTT99]

Packed with fascinating facts, great visuals (that montage of late 70's bands was fabulous and worth the effort!) and a presentation style that's just spot on in so many ways. Have a restful and enjoyable Christmas Rob, if you keep this up by Christmas 2022 I predict you'll hit 50k subs.

[@Robslondon]

Thank you so much for your wonderful comment and kind words PurpleTT99, really appreciate it. Stay well and have a great Christmas :-)

[@Wilayaat]

Even if you don't drink London's pubs are a fantastic slice of history and architecture. And the second one you featured is my mate's pub!

[@Robslondon]

Thanks so much Ali! Hope your mate manages to see the video too! I was going to visit in person although sadly illness prevented that. I have drank there before though and love it; one of my favourites. Thanks again and stay well.

Much agreed Paul. Cheers and stay well mate; thanks so much for the kind words.

[@catherinesikora8397]

The pub experience is such an integral part of the experience of being on the UK that I think it is underestimated by residents just how important and lovely it is. It is so comforting to know that you are never far from a place where you can rest and refresh, and that often this includes enjoying yourself in an historic establishment that has provided this service for hundreds of years. Rob, your videos are just terrific and I appreciate them greatly.

[@Robslondon]

Thank you so much Catherine, and yes- couldn't agree more with what you say about pubs. Stay well.

[@johnsharp8632]

Another great video Rob. Having worked and walked around London for over 40 years, I have visited all these pubs and love them all. The Three Kings w14 was our local when I worked for a time in Ashfield House, although the real ale was often not very good at times in the 80s. Thank you in particular for telling the story of Dr and Mrs Salter and their tragic daughter Joyce. The thieves who stole the bronze statue of the legendary local hero Dr Salter should hang their heads in shame.

[@Robslondon]

Thanks so much John... couldn't agree more about the Salter statue thieves (and that's put it mildly)... There will be another Christmas pubs special out soon, so please do stay tuned!

[@darrenharrison4546]

The Jerusalem Tavern is a lovely quirky little pub. And the beer is great.

[@Robslondon]

Cheers Darren; much agreed! Stay well.

[@bettyswallocks6411]

Back in the day, my parents ran a pub in Bracknell. An assortment of well-known people were known to drink there from time to time, including Christine Keeler on a couple of occasions.

[@Robslondon]

Wow!

[@squeaksvids5886]

I’ve been to all these pubs over the years. Be great to be able to resume my pub crawls to explore the history. Thanks for making these films.

[@Robslondon]

It's a pleasure; thank you so much for watching.

[@Rachel-bo3qg]

Lovely and Christmasy 🎄. Very enjoyable, thank you.

[@Robslondon]

Thank you Rachel :-)

[@terryedwards848]

Hi Rob, I stumbled across your channel whilst looking at old haunts I lived and worked at all through the 1980's. One pub I renovated in 1984 was 'The Horn Tavern' in Knightrider Court near blackfriars bridge, no doubt you know of it but it's called something else now. Still like to get back up to London a dozen times a year but your channel keeps me going in the meantime. Merry Christmas, Terry

[@Robslondon]

Brilliant comment Terry, thank you so much. Stay well and have a great Christmas; hope you get to visit London soon.

[@raymondpeterson952]

[@Robslondon]

Really appreciate that John, cheers. Hope you’re back here soon 🇦🇺

[@trishtraynor]

One of my brothers bought a car from Diana Dors's boyfriend. It was a Jaguar with a cocktail cabinet in the back. Another brother sent a couple up to Edinburgh to my parents for a month because they had to get out of London. I remember going out with them and having to call the woman Mummy. Dodgy, just on the fringes but knew enough he then blagged his way into a new life in Rhodesia. Families!

[@Robslondon]

😂

[@Swisswavey]

Seeing your trilogy of pub videos I fully expected to have been to nearly all of them. In reality about half of them are yet to be discovered. Something to be rectified if I ever get back to London.

[@Robslondon]

Ha ha! 😉 A good excuse to come back waveywavey- hope you make it soon my friend. Take care and cheers 🍺

[@MattBaker1965]

Merry Christmas and peace to all. How about a Bristol Pub crawl, I know its not the old smoke but a city with loads of history and fantastic venues/parks and oh yes pubs.

[@Robslondon]

That would be a fantastic idea Matt (I lived in Bristol for a time some 20 years ago and know it well; beautiful city). Cheers and stay well.

[@melissalambert7615]

Nice themed "pub crawl". Best bit for me was the note about the Brannigen fight scene. It's a good fight scene. Big John Wayne fan, as was my father. Hello from a very frozen Corvallis Oregon, US.

[@Robslondon]

Thanks Melissa ;-) Stay warm!

[@geoffreymartin2764]

Watched just after Easter 2024. Thank you. 🏳‍🌈

[@Robslondon]

A pleasure; thank you for watching, Geoffrey!

[@nealbourn1435]

What a wonderful video, Rob! Some old haunts were mentioned from my previous pub crawls of London and, of course, some new ones as well! I used to drink at The Three Kings in West Kensington in the late 1980s. Looks like I missed the great music by about a decade! Thanks again for the super video! Keep up the great work! Cheers!

Thank you so much D R, your comment made my day :-) Really appreciate your kinds words and support; stay well.

[@RichardWells1]

What a fascinating pub crawl, Rob! Thoroughly researched, packed with intriguing facts, and a poignant interlude honouring the good doctor, his wife and their daughter, your video tour was compelling watching. You must have put a huge amount of time and effort into this programme to give us such a rich historical documentary. Now, that's worth much more than a pint! Happy Christmas, Rob! 🎄

[@Robslondon]

Gosh, thank you so much Richard. What a wonderful comment; these are the sort of words that keep me making videos. Stay well sir, have a great Christmas and thank you again- much appreciated.

@@Robslondon ... and you're more than welcome! My claim to fame re London was a layover at Heathrow on our way to Germany/family when I was about 12 years old. We stayed on the plane as the cleaning crew came on board to tidy things up a bit before the flight continued. One of them tipped their hat in my direction, and I was taken hook, line, and sinker. ;) I am enamored with the UK, particularly England - I find the expressions, which are uniquely English - so wonderful and entertaining, and your countrysides fantastically charming ... just lovely. And btw -- I'm in the process of seeking out more of your wonderful videos -- I've already eyed a few more, and plan on carving out some time to enjoy them tomorrow.

@@Robslondon As to the Angel...never made it across the Thames (beyond Tower Bridge)...but I love the Wapping pubs along the opposite shore: Town of Ramsgate, Cptn. Kidd, Prospect of Whitby...even Grapes down in Limehouse. London is always great. Back in 1987, when being a student at Hull University, we demonstrated against the Thatcher government starting at Marble Arch. Even earlier, in 1980, I attended my first rock concert...at the Hammersmith Odeon. Good times! Now it has become a long way from Calgary, Canada. But hey, my letter to Ealing arrived today...it took only 8 days.

Excellent film from you, as always! I really do appreciate your films and the effort you put into them. Watching I feel like I’m _with_ you. My husband and I are both from London. I grew up in Bromley by bow. My husband grew up 3 streets away from me, but we met in the Midlands! Fate eh? Sorry, I’m rambling again lol. But I do love watching and listening to your work. I’m so glad I stumbled across your channel, obviously I immediately subscribed. Happy Christmas to you too.
