Covent Garden Pubs 

London is our favourite city to visit. We have another visit planned starting October 1st for 2 weeks and this sort of video is exactly what we like. Local knowledge showing us the great nooks and crannies with a pint at the end of the bread crumb trail. Thanks for doing these brilliant videos. Very well done.

Ahhh The Harp, my Favorite London Pub ... The only problem with Harveys is its difficult to keep, When its good you can't beat, but I've had so many dodgy pints of it that I steer clear

Wiki says the Lamb And Flag is the heraldic symbol of the Middle Temple, part of the English Bar of barristers. But I assume they got it from the Knight's Templar during the Crusades.

Very interesting to see these pubs with character and real ale 🍻

I worked in Long Acre in the late 80s and The Lamb and Flag was just a few yards away through an alleyway. It was very handy on a wet day. At that time the landlady was quite daunting (I suppose she needed to be). The real ale was always top-notch and we generally had a piping-hot Cornish pasty to go with it. One of my favourite Covent Garden pubs is The Nags Head in Floral Street, which is a rare McMullen pub in London. I do remember 'The Harp' being called 'The Welsh Harp' in those days.

I think "The King's Arms" in Long Acre closed down around 1999 and is now a lady's fashion shop.

From what I remember, back in the days when Covent Garden was a market, a couple of pubs were allowed to stay open until 4-30 AM for benefit of the porters. This was because unloading the lorries of produce from the countryside couldn't begin until midnight. They worked through the night and trading the following day ceased at 11-00 AM.

Another heartwarming video in terms of architecture. It doesn’t look like they’re smashing it all up round there. Don’t know any of those pubs and the only one I can think of near there is that Sherlock Holmes pub close to Charing Cross Station. Great video with Allotment Fox style ending!

Loving the channel.. Visited two of these public houses fairly recently "The Lamb and Flag" and "The Cross Keys" not impressed with either...

Nice one Tweedy. l think the Harp is a gem of a pub. An acquaintance told me it was his aunt who had it in recent years: The lrish family you allude to. From County Mayo l believe. Good luck with your pub quests.

IIRC, Fullers bought Harp for £10 million, whenever that was.

Watched a few of these now, what time of day do you visit? whenever I go to London the pubs are completely mobbed!

In the time description you’ve got the Lemon Flag for the lamb and Flag and then the Melbourne Tavern for the Nell Gywnne. Jesus, and you want subscribers😂. Details boy, details. They must have taught you that at your public school
