Tube pub challenge

Post by nick468 »

Hi guys,

This idea is a little off the wall.

But I was wondering if anyone has ever considered doing a tube pub challenge? Visiting a pub outside/or close to each tube station.

It's the sort of thing that would take years to complete, but just thought it was an interesting idea. Some stations, you'd be spoilt for choice to find a pub in close proximity. Others, perhaps not so much.

Interesting way to experience a bit of London too.

I think there was an 'All Lines' pub challenge for Glen's stag do.

There is also of course the infamous Circle Line pub crawl.


A more interesting challenge would be to visit all the Underground stations named after pubs!

Haha, was thinking on the basis of a pint in every pub! Just the one pint in each hostelry mind :D

Ah yes, the slowest all line challenge. I ended up wondering round heathrow at 2am!

What I didn't know until I got home was that Eleanor had just found out she was pregnant!
