Penderel's Oak - London, Holborn





Visited 17th July 2010.


We know there will be a lot of walking today, but fortunately it's not to far to our next planned watering hole. Again it's big and airy inside, so big in fact that it takes us several minutes to find where Mrs S. has found for us to sit and so my friend and I spend several myopic moments
wandering around, drinks in hand, looking for her. Wonder of wonders they have Buffalo Trace and I have my customary double and happily sit drinking it watching a "blues and two" fire engine trying to perform a five point turn outside. It finishes its maneuver and disappears from sight (but not sound) and is swiftly followed by a second. We finish our drinks and upon exiting the pub see that the two fire engines are parked up no more than a couple of doors away attending to some smoke wafting from a small shop. In true English tradition we totally ignore what's going on and set off for our third pub of the day.
