Your quest brings me thoughts of my ultimate pub crawl, between the urban offices of sheep stations when I was in Melbourne at 16. My mate from Grammar School had decided to take his"leaving" year (G11) literally, and leave school before matriculating. So he offered to take me with him (on a school day) while he pitched himself as a jackeroo to said sheep stations. After each impromptu interview, we'd pop in and shout each other a schooner of bitter. We were both underage, but iwe were in the armpit of the city where that didn't matter. I asked him about his choice about leaving school. He reckoned as long as he had his beer, his cigs, and his sheilas, he'd be right.
Pity though, now I'm 76, and no pub crawl since has matched my first.
Fox and Anchor sounds awful. Too cool for school. Leadenhall Market - a bit too gussied up for my liking...the Tower is a scary place, even so many years away from all the misery it housed. think the jewels and the armour are the best bit (at least my grandkids think that). looking forward to the big reveal in the next instalment.

Wow.

I liked Leadenhall—it didn’t smack of actual poshness to me but it was very pretty.
Good. looking forward to reading where else you explored.
