I worked for a family that had a house in Ascot and Wilton Crescent, so I know The Grenadier well, out of the back of the house across the Mews, up the steps and into the bar. The Cock brings back memories from when I was courting my wife who worked in Sergeant Inn (now a hotel) a plaque inside proclaims that the Great Fire of London stopped there. Before leaving for France last year, I made a tour of The Dove (lunch overlooking the Thames) , The Cheshire Cheese, (had a beer in the vaults), and finished off in The Blackfriars, no doubt my most favorite pub.
Thank you for bringing back some good memories and keep up the good work.

Some lovely old pubs and it’s good to see the Dove. It is virtually unaltered apart from the name becoming singular and the address moving from Chiswick to Hammersmith. It looks as though the clientele has altered somewhat as well. Even the brewery is unchanged – Fullers. It is located adjacent to the school I went to so I remember it well as the place where, as sixth-formers, we could get served in school uniform! It’s also a much favoured location for the TV series New Tricks.

Way way back in the 60’s my husband was on a course at RN College Greenwich for three years,we would walk out of the far gates,across a small road and into a waterside pub.Happy memories but can’t remember the name of the pub.Love these photo’s,pubs were so much more relaxing then.
