A Night on the Town - Olde Mitres and Banks

For a change, I went up into London to have a drink with some erstwhile collegues. We started off at The Olde Mitre, one of the oldest pubs in London:

It's built round the back of a church and is a typical London drinking establishment, with a good selection of beers. I had a half of something called "Dark Star Original", a sort of Porter\Mild.

Very nice. After we'd all met up (the pub is down an alley, so very easy to miss), we moved on down to The Old Bank of England (both of them are Fuller's pubs), a complete contrast, and probably the largest pub I've ever been in:

Very grand. I finished the night there and, after fond farewells, wended my way back to BasVegas.
