The London Mensa First Friday Pub Crawl

 

 

Discover London with the First Friday Pub Crawl!

 

 

 


There are various ways to explain the attraction of pub crawls. Getting to know new areas of London is certainly an attraction. As is variety. An interesting viewpoint, reproduced below, is from Cecile Frogh, an Armerican Mensan, who attended the Annual Gathering pub crawl:

I truly enjoyed the pub crawl. This crawl idea is excellent. Specifically, taking a walk between each drink tends to keep the head clearer than does chatting and drinking in one place; it also tends to remix the conversational groupings. Pub crawl - a fine British cultural practice.
