The problem - and I can't understate this enough - is that these are all relatively close to each other (naturally), in one of the most miserable parts of London you could spend time in. More than 4 hours in that part of town and I start to feel more noticeably depressed.

I get why equidistant is attractive, but you'll have a much nicer time if somebody is going to have a longer journey. So do yourself a favour: go out to Greenwich, or Richmond, or Hampstead. Go somewhere that is greener. Somewhere that's not on/adjacent to Euston Road.

THIS THIS THIS !!

If I am going to subject myself to the horrors of London's over-crowded, over-priced, delay-ridden, filthy public transport then I sure as hell am not going to be doing that just to end up in the filthy confines of Euston Road.

Seriously.

Cool, fun blog post I will give that bit credit.

But the conclusion, "go to a pub on Euston Road" ? No. No. No. and NO !

See the Magna Carta at the British library. Pint at said pub. Curry on Drummond Street. Then catch a band at ULU.

My favourite pub in this area, The Bree Louise, is sadly no more.

The journey is often whats most fun to me. Just walking somewhere with friends without worries in our minds. The pub visit itself is usually short lived for us. Can't imagine having to walk in a non-green area though, really sounds depressing.
