I loved the pubs on the two visits to the UK I did, as did my parents when I took them on the second trip. Mom had the best time talking to people LOL

The artwork is fun! They're putting more murals and such around the little town I live in here in NJ. I should take some pictures!

Love seeing your pictures! We have a 'junction box' in town that I love; looks like a honeycomb, complete with dripping honey and hard working bees!! Thanks for sharing your great pictures!

I love the awesome pub names in the UK.

And what a great idea to paint the junction boxes.

I'd love to be sitting in a pub named Hobgoblin right about now.

Do they name all their pubs "Hobgoblin"? We've got one too. =:D Quite a decent place, though sadly, serves no food beyond the usual Stuff In Packets. (Versus Wetherspoons, where it's stuff that's come from a packet and into the deep fryer, or maybe even boiled in its packet)

Love the graffiti! Wish I could see more hereabouts, but there's barely even any tagging, let alone real street art.

Well there is a Hobgoblin Brewery and they do own a few pubs although perhaps not all of them are called Hobgoblin. Even the staff in this one are Goths!

Very nice set of pics. I can see that it has been raining in the second one. I love the gecko and the pumpkin painted junction boxes.

I'm amazed by the variety and breadth of pubs in the UK.
