At the beginning of the pub quiz, it can seem like a great idea to pick the very first team name that springs to mind. That is until the final round of the night, when it dawns on you that once the scores are totted up the quizmaster will reel off the list of winners – and losers...
What’s a long, brisk walk in the cool, crisp air if it isn’t for the pint at the end? Pointless, we say! The fact is, if you’ve done the legwork, you deserve the leg rest – and that goes for your pooch, too. With that in mind, we’ve pulled together some of our favourite dog-friendly pubs here in the UK. Grab Archie’s lead and dust off those old trainers – it’s walkies time!
Heading to London for a long-awaited night out? If you’re down in the big smoke, the question isn’t if you’ll have a good night, but where to go – or where to start? There are so many cool bars and clubs on offer that you’ll literally be spoiled for choice.

Consider the last time you went on a bar crawl and didn’t see a load of fellas dressed in golfing gear – and we’re not talking the time you stopped at your local golf club either. The fact is, a round of ‘pub golf’ is still a failsafe bar crawl option when it comes to ensuring you all keep the pace when out with the lads – or lasses.
Those that enjoy the finer things in life are in the right place if they’re situated in London. With everything from slick city bars to cool cabaret clubs at your fingertips, you really don’t need to venture outside of the capital.
