The Metropolitan 60 Southwark Street London SE1 1UN Southwark Street was built in the early 1860s by The Metropolitan Board of Works. Presumably this is where the name for the public house came from. I can’t help thinking the original incarnation might have been a little bit easier on the eye. Now called The Southwark Rooms, this venue is the type of place commonly hired out by city workers for drinks and nibbles. Plush inside, brutal on the outside.

The Durham Castle 30 Alexander Street London W2 5NU I’ve been searching for old Truman pubs for nearly a year now and a random trip to the vet’s unearthed this specimen literally around the corner from where I live.In the right light you can clearly make out the TRUMAN lettering on the iron pub sign bracket. The pub has recently been known as Tom & Dick’s and I was approached by a lost young woman once asking if I knew where Harry’s bar was. I presumed she meant this establishment.However, in 2009 it ceased to be a pub and became the base for a digital marketing agency called Dandi. Presently it is up for sale as a residential property. A snip at £5,250,000.

The Spread Eagle 79 Grosvenor Road London SW1V 3LA Renamed The Grosvenor in 2009, The Spread Eagle has stood here since Victorian times overlooking the Thames between Chelsea and Vauxhall Bridges. If you look closely at the iron sign bracket you can still just make out the painted over TRUMAN lettering.

The Hampton Court Palace 35 Hampton Street London SE17 3AN Tucked away on a side-street next to a modern estate in Elephant and Castle, it is fair to say that this late 19th Century pub is perhaps not as grand as its namesake in Bushy Park. On the north-westerly aspect there is a large trademark Truman Beers board, while the south-easterly façade boasts a stone cut with the name of the pub on the top floor level.
