The Rocket - London, Putney

















Visited 14th April 2012.

We have been invited to a BBQ at a friends, a perfect excuse to trundle into London and visit a few pubs. So, after checking the maps and the Transport For London (TFL) website we walked to the station, ran for the platform and sat for the ride to Paddington. The first pub on our list was in Putney, nearest tube station, Putney Bridge. This meant that we would have to talk a stroll over the bridge, not the sort of thing Mrs S. enjoys. If she can see water from a bridge she starts to get a bit nervous but she made it across by staring at the sky and holding my hand. I didn't feel it prudent to tell her we would have to walk back over it, at least not until she'd had her first latte of the day. I thought I would start the day as I meant to go on and had a Buffalo Trace and Pepsi. It was modern and dark inside, at least at the end of the bar where we were served but as the sun was shining we thought we would find a table overlooking the river and catch a few rays. After finishing our beverages, it was back across the bridge to the tube station and on to Wimbledon for the second pub of the day.

The Railway - London, Putney





Visited 3rd October 2009.


Our last Wetherspoons today and for my money the best of the bunch. Downstairs was busy so we went upstairs where it was also busy but we did manage to find an empty table to sit at. Drip, drip and now we know why. The seat was soaking wet where a leak somewhere was causing water to run down the wall, over a painting and onto the seat that Mrs Sinner had chose to sit on. What a wheeze! A pub with character and an Australian barman with loads of character made this a great visit.
Just for a change we're now off to
O'Neills back in Shepherds Bush for a very large slice of chocolate cake and coffee, woohoo!
