After Last Orders sounds a fascinating project. Hopefully McGlynns will open again soon, it also used to have a lovely pub cat, Jackie

@mrjamesob.bsky.social - thought you might be interested in my talk on London's Lost Pubs at Chiswick Book Festival on Sunday. Would be great if you could mention it on your show. And thanks so much for mentioning the book last month! www.ticketsource.co.uk/whats-on/chi...

Was great to speak at the fantastic @stanfordstravel.bsky.social last night on London's Lost Pubs with the excellent John Seaton. The event sold out and we cleared the shelves of the book!

Was great to be on Radio NZ yesterday to talk about London's Lost Pubs - you can listen back here - www.rnz.co.nz/national/pro...

Sam Cullen @samcullen.bsky.social · Jul 10

Yep! Which in turn took the name from a brewery in the City of London that Fullers had acquired!

Sam Cullen @samcullen.bsky.social · Jul 10

The Griffin has always had that name (to my knowledge) and actually ended up lending its name to Brentford's old ground, a rare example of a football ground named after a pub!

Sam Cullen @samcullen.bsky.social · Jul 10

Ah yes the arts centre! I briefly thought you meant the pub.

Yes it's in a bit of a sorry state. Used to wander up to its little balcony bit on covid walks.

Sam Cullen @samcullen.bsky.social · Jul 10

Would be very happy to come on your show in the future to chat about it if you like? (Can get a copy to you too!)

Sam Cullen @samcullen.bsky.social · Jul 10

Is the Watermans closed?! I only went last month. Used to live very nearby but sadly it was closed most of the time due to covid. Had lovely cats too.

Sam Cullen @samcullen.bsky.social · Jul 10

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Great to hear you talking about Brentford pubs earlier(former TW8 resident here). Thought you might be interested in my book London's Lost Pubs, plenty from Brentford/Chiswick included... www.pen-and-sword.co.uk/Londons-Lost...

I think boffin is one of those words that is kept alive by tabloid papers these days. I'd put 'scorcher' in there too.

Sam Cullen @samcullen.bsky.social · Jun 15

Thanks to @hernehillbooks.bsky.social for stocking London's Lost Pubs and putting it in their window display. Cheers!

Sam Cullen @samcullen.bsky.social · Jun 15

Can you still get a great deal on an armchair there?

Sam Cullen @samcullen.bsky.social · Jun 8

Very excited to say will be speaking at @stanfordstravel.bsky.social on 22nd July about London's Lost Pubs, alongside the excellent John Seaton who helped bring Back to the Local in print! www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/londons-lo...

Sam Cullen @samcullen.bsky.social · Jun 8

Up there as one of my favourite pubs in the country. Perfect on a sunny Sussex day!

Sam Cullen @samcullen.bsky.social · Jun 2

That's very sad news. Had a few email exchanges with him about his excellent detective work on The Tipperary pub and some of the myths around the name.

Sam Cullen @samcullen.bsky.social · May 23

There's never been a better time 😅

Sam Cullen @samcullen.bsky.social · May 23

I'm now curious to see your top 50 as always after good pub picks outside London!

Sam Cullen @samcullen.bsky.social · May 23

What is an example of one of the 'top pubs' on the list that you particularly disagree with? Not wishing to name and shame the writer but am curious as to the poor picks!

Sam Cullen @samcullen.bsky.social · May 2

Looks like a lovely view from the window too!
