Is it a Sam Smith's? A genuinely hilarious place to watch tourists get lost. You can smell when somebody's been in there because of the smoke from the fires. I almost put it on my list, Sue. Would you call it Holborn, though? It's a bit of a no mans land around there, but the walk from The Seven Stars to The Ship, near Holborn station, via Lincoln's Inn Fields is one of London's great WTF moments. It's a toss up as to whether the upstairs toilets in The Seven Stars or the downstairs ones in The Nell Gwynne are the more difficult to negotiate. I reckon the pub you're thinking about on Richmond Hill could be The Roebuck. It always reminds me of The Prince of Wales in Highgate. She used to have The Three Greyhounds in Soho, around the same time as Norman had the Coach & Horses and The French House was run by a very tall bloke with a bow tie. I think he was called Lesley. Roxy had a very brief career as a TV chef. I've got a signed copy of her cookbook somewhere. A great pub. Any pub that serves whitebait, pork pies and gammon, egg & chips is doing many things right. -
The Nags Head and the Wilton Arms, both on Kinnerton Street were quite off the beaten track back street pubs. Easier to find all these places with Google maps now!
