The london and "the london" related things, including places, pubbing, gigs and blog posts about the london. If you have anything to contribute regarding the london that I have not covered here, please chip in. Particularly if you have something to offer concerning local pubs or other venues, home brew, beer, or appley goodness. Cheers.
This is my personal site, so if you search here for pubs or other venues it will only return the london pubbing / venues I have been to or plan to go to. It will hopefully return those anyway...If you are interested in a more general search please try the london on 'Folkestone Gerald, where I list national and international venues...
As it turns out there are no pubbing / venues regarding the london anyway. Is there something I have missed? Please let me know!
