Day 3

Walked to Swiss Cottage via The City and Regents park to pass the Ordnance Arms to find out it was undergoing a refurbishment and would not be open until 4pm.

We got to the Swiss Cottage at 11-45am and it was open. The only pub in London that we know to open before 12 noon.

17. Swiss Cottage.

Bus # 46 to the

18 Robert Browning

Then walked to Portobello Road and the

19. The Earl of Lonsdale

Walked onto Notting Hill Gate for  bus #390 to Oxford Street

20. Angel in the Field

21. Dover Castle

22. Horse and Groom

23 Yorkshire Grey

24 The Cock

25 The Champion

26 The Blue Posts

27 Fitzroy Tavern

28 Bricklayers Arms.

Walked along the Thames to Tower Bridge and the

33 George and Vulture for 2-45pm Did not get a drink here as it is a restaurant and would not serve us.

Walked to Smithfield and  the

34 Rising Sun.

Walked back to

35. The Lyceum

I was then going to catch a bus to St John Wood but there was no buses because of the riots so we walked a mile to a underground station ( some underground station where closed as well)  to

36 The Ordnance Arms  at 6pm .  So that makes 36 Sam Smiths pubs in under 74 hours.  We would have done it in 72 hours if we did not have to go back to St John's Wood.

# 37 The Cardinal is closed for refurbishment.

# 38 The Duke of York is closed.  This building was not owned by Sam Smiths.
