  • A Micropub Tour of SE London - Part 2 Saturday 27 September 2025 13:00

    THIS IS A BRANCH SOCIAL led by Alan Molloy (07864 020570).

    As you probably know, Kent has the highest concentration of micropubs in the country, but would you believe that there are 9 spreading into London along the A2, and it seem rude not to visit them. In March we visited 4 excellent venues and I am sure part 2 will be as good.

    We will all meet at 1pm in the first Micropub - The Penny Farthing, and then move on to explore 3 more micropubs which are all in GBG 2025.

    You can download the Itinerary for SE London Micropubs.
