Lunch time at the Lloyds …..

The Lloyd’s is one of those big pubs with heaps of history and a popular venue.

And on Friday there were the happy regulars who told me that they were “always here” and pointed to a picture of the Lloyd’s Three by the bar.

Added to these there was a family who had popped in for a quick half an hour before heading off on a journey with a suitcase, the woman with her phone and the man with his pint.

And as I snapped away, they were joined by a party on a late lunch meet up, bumped into Alan and watched as couples fell into the pub for a lazy drink and chat.

    Wasn't it renamed 'Edwards' about 20 odd years ago?

      Briefly ... the same same brilliant ad strategy that for a while changed the name of the Oxnoble pub to the Ox although Oxnoble is a potato and thought that Snicker was better than Marathon

      I thought so! Lloyd's was a bit of a rundown pub in 2001 when I first visited.
