TFL Pub Crawl @tflpubcrawl.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Oh that’s quite a long time. Thought you were moving every six months! 100
TFL Pub Crawl @tflpubcrawl.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I reckon you’ve lived in every single area of London!! 100
TFL Pub Crawl @tflpubcrawl.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Oh and there’s a big elephant with flapping ears here. Obvs. 030
TFL Pub Crawl @tflpubcrawl.bsky.social · 16/09/2026465/509 Cricklewood/Thameslink. Gary Sparrow from Goodnight Sweetheart came from here. It gets mentioned on the telly and you presume it’s made up like Chigwell and Birds of a Feather. He probably came to The Crown when he was committing bigamy. Don’t blame him it’s good! Half cider £3.60 Rating 4/5 281
TFL Pub Crawl @tflpubcrawl.bsky.social · 16/09/2026464/509 Brent Cross West: Thameslink. Oh this is a find. The Ox & Gate is a cavernous pub with proper old school charm. It became a Whelans but reverted back to its original name which is good cos Whelan’s were always shit. Loads of huge Chinese restaurants here too. Half cider £2.65 Rating 4/5 030
TFL Pub Crawl @tflpubcrawl.bsky.social · 16/09/2026463/509 Hendon: Thameslink. Ooh I was in Hendon Central and Brent Cross for stops No 34 & 35 and had to go to The Bodhran cos there was fuck all else around. I’m here again for a 3rd time and they’ve put the fucking prices up. Well you enjoy my extra 60p you fuckers. Half cider £2.75 Rating 1/5 050
TFL Pub Crawl @tflpubcrawl.bsky.social · 16/09/2026462/509 Mill Hill Broadway: Thameslink. General rule of thumb, if you paint the outside of your pub black it’s immediately 70% less appealing. The inside of The Bridge Tavern isn’t any better either. But have realised I can use my Oyster card on Thameslink which is nice Half cider £2.50 Rating 1/5 030
TFL Pub Crawl @tflpubcrawl.bsky.social · 16/09/2026461/509 Elstree & Borehamwood: Thameslink. Much better doing this in London than dodging 6 lanes of traffic in Dallas. Came here at 17 to watch all the Star Wars films at the studios. Probably be another 34 years till I’m back. Fuck me The Alfred Arms has the heating on. Half cider £3.40 Rating 3/5 020
TFL Pub Crawl @tflpubcrawl.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Right, after a Busman’s holiday to Dallas and a summer break, I am finally aiming to finish this fucking map. With the blessing of Transport for London, I just need to knock off the Thameslink and then I’m finally finished. 49 to go… 082
TFL Pub Crawl @tflpubcrawl.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Yes!! Meet The General! For some reason The Seven Stars in Holborn always has a pub cat and they dress him in a ruff. To be honest, I’ve seen him twice now and he always seems annoyed by it all! 190
TFL Pub Crawl @tflpubcrawl.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Oh yes! Thats the cat from that pub on Holborn. I saw him a while back 1785
TFL Pub Crawl @tflpubcrawl.bsky.social · 10/09/2026That’s very odd then. I kept refreshing and it didn’t let me in until about 9:30! Maybe you’re more important!! 100
TFL Pub Crawl @tflpubcrawl.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Ahhh. That makes sense. I was on at 9am and nothing there! Cheers 100
TFL Pub Crawl @tflpubcrawl.bsky.social · 10/09/2026That’s very weird. Literally just popped up. Thank you!! 100
TFL Pub Crawl @tflpubcrawl.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Hang on! Whats the website address. I’m on the bfi site looking for the waiting room 100
TFL Pub Crawl @tflpubcrawl.bsky.social · 27/08/2026It’s fascinating! Still can’t believe I had never heard of it! 010
TFL Pub Crawl @tflpubcrawl.bsky.social · 26/08/2026Yes the sandwich shop looks great. I’m definitely coming back here. I feel all fancy 000
TFL Pub Crawl @tflpubcrawl.bsky.social · 26/08/2026Might do a London village pub crawl if I ever finish the tube map 030
TFL Pub Crawl @tflpubcrawl.bsky.social · 26/08/2026Think that’s it. There is a wine bar but fuck that. The curzon cinema is here and a decent sandwich shop, posh looking French, Lebanese and Iranian restaurants. A boutique whatever the fuck that sells and an independent chemist. All pretty swish. Can’t believe I didn’t know it existed. Take a look. 130
TFL Pub Crawl @tflpubcrawl.bsky.social · 26/08/2026One of the Mitford sisters worked here. Presumably the novelist and not the one who kept trying to smash Hitler. Ye Grapes must be old cos it’s got Ye at the beginning. It’s loads bigger than it looks, it’s like the fucking TARDIS, if the Doctor did Fishfinger sandwiches. Half cider £3.45 Rating 4/5 230
TFL Pub Crawl @tflpubcrawl.bsky.social · 26/08/2026Bearing in mind we’re in Mayfair, there’s remarkably few posh twats here. Probably too busy coking it up and murdering sex workers. The market tavern is very chilled with friendly staff and ooh they have a pub dog so extra point for them! Id take a photo but he’s run off. Half cider £3.70 Rating 4/5 150
TFL Pub Crawl @tflpubcrawl.bsky.social · 26/08/2026Oh The Chesterfield Arms opened in 1737 so that pisses on The Jolly Butchers claims of being the first pub here. I wait ages to be served whilst some American insists on trying a sip of every ale they have. This is why no one likes any of you. Well that and the wars. Half cider £3.70 Rating 3/5 131
TFL Pub Crawl @tflpubcrawl.bsky.social · 26/08/2026The Three Jolly Butchers! An historic pub which opened in 1742 as The Kings Arms, the first in Shepherd’s Market and renamed this year. It’s now a Greene King pub home to Slysports and American tourists pretending to like Guinness. Half cider £3.65 Rating 4/5 220
TFL Pub Crawl @tflpubcrawl.bsky.social · 26/08/2026It’s very quiet despite being a stones throw from Piccadilly, all cobbled streets and very la di dah, despite being a well known area for sex workers in the 80’s. Jeffrey Archer got caught here with one - naughty Tories - so as I have an hour to kill I thought I’d check out the pubs. 110
TFL Pub Crawl @tflpubcrawl.bsky.social · 26/08/2026I will crack on with the remaining Thameslink stations as soon as the summer holidays are over, but in the meantime, after living in London for over 20 years I’ve just discovered Shepherd Market which is a tiny village just off Mayfair with a handful of pubs, independent shops and restaurants… 391
TFL Pub Crawl @tflpubcrawl.bsky.social · 16/08/2026Ahh that’s very kind, although obviously I could only accept a half! 010
TFL Pub Crawl @tflpubcrawl.bsky.social · 15/08/2026James Ellroy LA Quartet plus American Tabloid, Cold 6000 and Bloods a Rover. Done 000
TFL Pub Crawl @tflpubcrawl.bsky.social · 20/07/2026Disastrous is absolutely the correct word! Cheers mate 010
TFL Pub Crawl @tflpubcrawl.bsky.social · 20/07/2026Oh the biker bar in Love Field was great as was the dive bar in Parkland. The tram itself is dire, just crack addicts and me. Can’t wait to get back to London and finally finish the TfL map. The Thameslink awaits!! 5120
TFL Pub Crawl @tflpubcrawl.bsky.social · 20/07/2026There’s the map, didn’t do the train lines but did everything else. 65 stations, failed at 7. 9 if you include the two where I went to a liquor store and drank from a brown paper bag. Plano, Carrollton, Rowlett and Downtown were good the rest were shitholes. 180
TFL Pub Crawl @tflpubcrawl.bsky.social · 20/07/202665/65 DFW Airport: Orange Line. Hometime!! Get through security and first bar I see is California Pizza Kitchen. I have a pint of Yuengling to finish off before I jump on a plane. Pint of lager $11.75 Rating 3/5 ORANGE LINE COMPLETE. DALLAS DART COMPLETE. Thank fuck for that. What a waste of time 1111
TFL Pub Crawl @tflpubcrawl.bsky.social · 20/07/202664/65 EBJ Union Station: Red/Blue Line. Main station where you can go somewhere better. Jump on train to Fort Worth and you can go to rodeo and bull riding which is fun. The Owners Box is a bog standard hotel bar with loads of slow moving staff. Pint lager $12.50 Rating 3/5 RED/BLUE LINE COMPLETE 130
TFL Pub Crawl @tflpubcrawl.bsky.social · 20/07/202663/65 West End: Green/Orange/Red/Blue Line. Scenes in Dallas watching sad Argentinian fans not realising how hateful their team were. Downtown is pretty cool compared to most places I’ve been. Chet’s Bar has loads of comfy chairs and sofas. Nice. Bottle lager $10.75 Rating 4/5 GREEN LINE COMPLETE 050
TFL Pub Crawl @tflpubcrawl.bsky.social · 18/07/2026Only way this could be funnier is if Tuchel brings on Jordan Henderson in the 2nd half 2161
