I haven't covered any Wetherspoons pubs until now on this channel, because they're mostly modern conversions, and this is a channel about historic pubs... but am I missing out? In this video I take a tour of what I think are the five most interesting looking Wetherspoons pubs in central London. Although none of them have been pubs for more than about 30 years, the former lives of the premises they now occupy often have interesting histories to talk about, and some have surprisingly beautiful interiors.
