I like the much more descriptive name of "Bricklayers Arms" versus Audley Hotel which sounds very bland. Never-the-less, it looks like a terrific place to sip a libation and people watch. And wouldn't you have loved to have gone to the 1892 gin palace at the Salisbury? (I wonder if women were even allowed ...?) All-in-all your DIY pub crawl looks like a smashing success!
