A handbill at the door announces the history of this Great Pubs of London riverside inn surely the best on this stretch in Hammersmithfeaturing the comings and goings of Charles II and Nell Gwyn at the Great Pubs of London. Take it all in beneath the exposed ceiling beams or by the roaring fire. And The French House only serves its beer in halves. This Covent Garden legend occupies the backstreets away from the tourists. Its courtyard setting is probably how it attracted such a rough-around-the-edges crowd in the nineteenth century, when it hosted bare-knuckle prize fights. Earlier, back inpoet John Dryden took a beating by thugs hired by poet John Wilmot down this back alley. Smugglers, sailors and dubious sorts were said to frequent the pub although, all that remains from those swashbuckling days is the flagstone floor. One of the oldest pubs in London is also one of the most charming, perched on a hilltop by Hampstead Heath. For more spookiness, ask bar staff for ghost stories that include an otherworldly appearance from highwayman Dick Turpin.

  • 1 CARLTON WARE NEWSLETTER #46 from Ian Harwood & Jerome
    CARLTON WARE NEWSLETTER #46 From Ian Harwood & Jerome Wilson August 2009 As mentioned in our last Newsletter, we have been compiling a recap of our trip to the U.K. last winter. We flew from Calgary to London on Christmas evening, arriving there on Boxing Day 2008. Over the next 3½ months we put over 8,000 miles on our rental car, travelling to numerous antique shops, markets, fairs and charity shops, as well as visiting several Carlton Ware collectors and seeing their collections. This Newsletter will detail most of that and we will give you our opinion of the various places we shopped at, hopefully informing you of the best places to find Carlton Ware. We will also mention some of the good pubs, etc. that we stopped at for lunch! We stayed with my sister, Lynda, in Maidenbower, a suburb of Crawley, West Sussex. We were only minutes from junction 10A on the M23 and three junctions away from the M25, which enabled us to reach most of our destinations pretty fast. There are a couple of things you need for a successful day out antiquing in the U.K. – a satellite navigation system in your car and a copy of The Antique Trade Calendar. This is a quarterly publication of Britain’s guide to antique fairs, markets and centres and costs only £1.50; extremely good value. This publication is available at many antique events and centres or can be bought by subscription. If you are visiting the U.K. and want a copy before you go, let us know and we will give you the subscription information.
