What we’re about
This group is for anyone who likes going to decent pubs and meeting up with other sociable people. We will be visiting some of the best real ale pubs in the London area but you don't have to drink beer!

See all- Richmond Pub CrawlThe White Cross, Richmond
The White Cross, Riverside (off Water Lane), Richmond, TW9 1TH - http://thewhitecrossrichmond.com/ - is right on the riverside, with some of the best river views of any pub in London from the beer garden, so that's where we'll be if the weather's fine.
The nearest station is Richmond, served by the District Line and London Overground as well as National Rail services from Waterloo which have connections to other lines at Vauxhall and Clapham Junction. Trains from Waterloo take as little as 16 minutes.
Turn left when you leave the station and walk down the The Quadrant and then George Street (which is Richmond high street, in all but name) until you reach the junction just past Sticks 'n' Sushi. Water Lane is on the opposite side of the road between Sostrene Grene and the Cancer Research shop and you'll find the pub by the river at the end of the lane.
Please note that as, for most of us, the travelling will be a bit more challenging than normal, I have put up earlier starting and finishing times.
The plan is to move on to The White Swan, 26 Old Palace Lane, TW9 1PG - https://www.whiteswanrichmond.co.uk - at around 8.15/8.30 and then The Cricketers, 24 The Green, TW9 1LX - https://www.cricketersrichmond.com - and/or The Prince's Head, 28 The Green, TW9 1LX - https://www.princeshead.co.uk - at around 9.30/9.45. These pubs are more or less next to each other so we can pick & mix. The last time we came here at least one of these pubs was using plastic cups, so if this is going to spoil your enjoyment you might want to bring your own glass.
The Railway Tavern, 28-29 The Quadrant, TW9 1DN - https://www.nicholsonspubs.co.uk/restaurants/yorkshireandthehumber/therailwaytavernrichmond# - is open until midnight and the Tap Tavern, Princes Street, TW9 1ED - https://www.taptavern.co.uk/ - is open until 1am so they might suit those who want to stay out later.
As ever, we may do things differently on the night. Please take a note of my number - 07761-816862 - so that you can phone me if you can't find us (but no texts or messaging please).
Please sign up as soon as possible if (but only if) you fully intend to attend and cancel promptly if your plans change so we don't end up with no-shows when other people are on a waitlist.
