The beer kingdom, the pubs where traditionally the Her majesty people go alone to pass a night in front of a blonde pint, playing darts and watching a football match. Just there in those pubs the beer monopoly has just ended, and wine is becoming more and more important, especially the new ones. A study carried out by CGA Strategy and divulged by Unione Italiana Vini explains the present British HORECA situation: beer 47%, wine 18%, spirits 22%. As we can see beer is still going strong but things are changing, because as this is decreasing wine is on the up.
Some wine goblets next to beer pints but this doesn’t really take away any of the charm of these very British locations. Below you will find a list of the pubs that are a must, if you come back from the UK and you’ve not been there it means you’ve been somewhere else.

It is in one of the oldest parts of London.
The Turf Tavern in Oxford dates back to the XIII century has lit fireplaces in the winter and a decidedly inviting roast.

The Eagle in Cambridge, atmosphere of long ago, with the signatures of the pilots who came back from the Second World War signed the ceiling. It was here that on the 28th of February 1953 the scientists Francis Crick and James Watson discovered DNA. No need for silent laboratories, it’s when one is relaxed that the imaginations runs riot!
