| First prize! Yes, Sloane Square was the one and on the west-bound platform. I'm not sure when it closed permanently because it never featured in our perambulations. I don't recall that Liverpool St had a bar but it's quite a big station from my memory, so it could well have done so. Tim worked at St Mary's Hospital in Paddington and devised a lot of these crawls for the young medics, many of which were based in the City. I note from Jezza's guide that Ye Olde Mitre is now a Fuller's house. I don't recall which beer it sold in my days - maybe Ind Coope? Sadly, the early 1970s was a pretty appalling time for real ale in London, with mostly Charringtons, Ind Coope and the dreaded Watney's - anyone recall Starlight? When I lived in west London, things were much better, with access to Fuller's and the late lamented Young's of Wandsworth. |
