Britain is well known for having lots of great pubs and taverns—places where locals and visitors gather to chat and socialize over a pint—or two— or a coffee, and a bite to eat. It’s a relaxing way to while away a gloomy grey afternoon or rainy evening, and if the weather happens to be sunny some of these places offer a beer garden or patio too.
We decided to begin a collection of the pub signs, many of which are really lovely. Some are self-descriptive (such as the clientele they serve(d), or the location), some are more like mini works of art. Here are a few from Carshalton, in southern London.
Location, location—-near the train station.
And guess what sport they used to have here, in these two different pubs?!
