We went to the British Museum today to see the exhibition about Pompeii, ‘Life and death in Pompeii and Herculaneum’ . We had an hour or so before we were due to go in… it was lunchtime… it was a nice sunny day… so obviously we needed a little liquid refreshment after a long hot drive from Somerset up to The Smoke.
We sauntered around Bloomsbury and came across a rather nice looking pub called the Plough. We wandered in and although clean and bright and well furnished and decorated it had not been spoiled in any way and was just a lovely, traditional London pub. A nice friendly young man greeted us from behind four tempting beer pumps, so we settled for a pint of Wherry (Woodforde’s Brewery) , a pint of Guardsman (Windsor and Eton Brewery) and a pint of Wandle (Sambrook’s Brewery)
We talked and chatted and told tales of beer and pubs and then had another couple of pints of Wandle and another pint of Wherry.
