Pubs with Bruce
I've been a beer lover all my life and I love to travel. Combining these is the ultimate experience. As I've traveled, I've immersed myself in the history and folklore of the places I've visited. Join me on my beer journeys. Okay, it's not as good as actually being there, but who knows? You may be inspired to enjoy travels (and beers) of your own.

London, South Kensington. Built in 1846, it is one of the few surviving buildings from when this area was originally developed. The name is said to come from the historic Danish influence over the Shetlands. In 1875 there was a brawl at the pub that started with some insults about the Devonshire origin of some of the drinkers. A policeman ejected about a dozen people who continued to fight in the street, which resulted in the death of one person from a fractured skull. (Luckily it was peaceful the day I was there!). In 1880 the landlord was Sid Chaplin, the older half brother of film star Charlie Chaplin. Inside the flatiron shaped corner building is a similar rounded flatiron shaped bar surrounded by lots of seating on all sides. Located close to the South Kensington tube station, a nice place to stop for a Greene King IPA before or after catching your train into central London.
