12:00 First stop on a pub crawl using Bob Steel's London Pub Walks book. A worthwhile purchase for London drinkers. This was my first attempt to use the Nicholson's Hop Circle app on my smart-phone. If you haven't got it I can recommend it as you get 25 pence off a pint by generating a QR code on your phone.

Fairly quiet in the early evening. Dreadfully short measure on the first attempt to give me my pint.
