The Three Johns....I last went there in the late 80's. I think it used to be in the same street as The Pint Pot....both just off Chapel Market. Seem to remember it was alright.Richard J said:Have you ever visited a Pub just because you like the name ? Does this affect whether you go there or not?
Many years ago I found a pub in Islington called the Three Johns after seeing Alexi Sayle do a sketch around it.
I now live in North East London and often go through Islington on my way home from work I was pleased to see last week that it has now reopened.
Its funny because when it was called the Hobgoblin , I had no interest in going in there . Now I can see it is the Three Johns I think I will break my journey one night and have a pint.0 -
There was, I doubt very much whether it's still there, a pub called The Drift Inn, Wide Open in Northumberland. I have a feeling it featured in an episode of The Likely Lads.0

That was around the same time I went in there . We used it a couple of times on our way to or from Highbury back in the day as it was closish to Angel Station. Although I admit before living north of the River 7 years ago my geography of Islington was patchy .
I work in Euston and in the summer I like to get the Bus rather than the Tube home and I need to change Buses at the Angel of Islington. I had completely forgotten where the Three Johns was and the Pub had subsequently been called the Hobgoblin and the Fallen Angel .I never made the connection. Much to my delight last week I saw the original name had returned. I think I will now stop off one night for a pint one afternoon .

Then there's The Chelsea Drugstore, once a pub,which morphed into the drug store (with bars) famously mentioned in the Stones record, then just a pub but a good one and, now, sadly a Macdonalds - shocking!0

Dirty Dicks in Bishopsgate0

Remote country pub no one would ever stumble across unless lost is in the wilds of Hampshire. It has no signs outside and referred to as "the pub with no name" as no point in giving directions to the White Horse.0

The Hufflers Arms Dartford.0

Apparently, William Woodin bought the pub, in Bishopsgate, in 1863. The term 'shades' originated in the 19th century as a synonym for wine vaults, and was also a term signifying the availability of prostitutes.calydon_road said:Woodin's Shades in aldgate. What does that reference?
I like this one as well in Nunhead - Pyrotechnics Arms

Used to love it in there, the old boys front room converted into a pub! I was sitting in the garden of this establishment listening to the car stereo when Maradona scored by the hand of god. Been past recently and doesn't look as if its open anymore sadlyViewfinder said:The Frog and Nightgown. Sounds like a wacky chain-pub on the city-centre circuit, but is actually a lovely old tile-hung cottage on a country lane outside Horsham.

The Docker's Fists
The name comes from a Viz comic strip, where Student Grant and his friend get into a bit of bother! I'm sure we've all been in pubs like this.0 -
Always thought "The Jerusalem Tavern" is quite a memorable and unusual name. Interesting little St Peter's pub in the city, if you don't know it.0

Visit 'Carlsens Kvarter': 'Carlsen's Quarter' if you ever get the chance to come by Odense :-)0

The Royal Oak, aka Polly Clean Stairs, Bexleyheath.0

Yes, been there: you realise the interior is a reconstruction, not original. There's a famous pub in Nottingham named Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem (known locally as 'the Trip'), which is one of quite a few that claim to be Britain's oldest. The back rooms have been burrowed out of a sandstone cliff.EdgeleyAddick said:Always thought "The Jerusalem Tavern" is quite a memorable and unusual name.
