So, how many pubs are in London? The official answer is 3,500. The real answer is “enough to bankrupt you, embarrass you, and make you a local legend all in one night.” Whether you’re tourist hunting for a warm pint or a Londoner trying to find a quiet corner to cry about your rent, there’s a pub for you. Just don’t try to count them—it’s a fool’s errand, and the barman will cut you off long before you finish.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go investigate a new place that opened inside an old laundromat. For research. Strictly research.
