Farringdon - Pendar Sillwood 6 January 2012 - 6.15pm

A new year, so an opportunity to sample some pubs that have new incarnations.

 

 


 

 

#1

 

6.15pm - 7.00pm

 

Exmouth Arms
23 Exmouth Market, EC1R 4QR

- Fancyapint.com haven't yet discovered that this is no longer a rough & ready pub but that is has been refurbished to match the other luvvie pubs in the area.


 

 

#2

 

7.00pm - 7.45pm

 

The Easton
22 Easton St, WC1X 0DS

- Large gastropub but plenty of space available for drinkers.


 

 

 

 

 

#3

 

7.45pm - 8.30pm

 

Wilmington Arms
69 Rosebery Ave, EC1R 4RL

- Sister pub to the Hawley Arms in Camden. Maybe we'll spot a passing pop star.


 

 

#4

 

8.35pm - 9.20pm

 

 

The Bowler
32 Bowling Green Lane, EC1R 0BJ

- It has an odd layout but is a decent enough stopping point.


 

 

 

#5

 

9.20pm - 10.05pm

 

Betsey Trotwood
56 Farringdon Rd, EC1R 3BL

- Betsey Trotwood is a male-disliking character from Charles Dickens' David Copperfield. Men are certainly welcomed here though!


 

 

 

#6

 

10.05 - closing

 

The Horseshoe
24 Clerkenwell Close, EC1R 0AG

- This pub was not well received on Tim Andrews' excellent Clerkenwell crawl some four years ago now, however it's worth another look. It's the only local pub that hasn't changed in a generation and is a type of pub that is rapidly disappearing.
