Well this was our very first pub of the drinking challenge, so it was very exciting. We set off from Canary Wharf in good spirits taking the Jubilee line to our destination. Despite Tim's hopes that we would be going to "The Fire Station", it was obvious that the Wellington was the nearest pub to the station exit. We knew that we were going to do at least two pubs this evening so we didn't want to linger too long so after a few aborted attempts, we sorted out the camera and decided which pictures we needed to take at each pub and the format of these report pages. Tim's Guinness was below average in quality, but the Fosters was fine. This pub is shared with a hotel and so had a good mix of clients. There were a few women around and an inviting quiz machine, but some Chelsea fans walked in to watch the Arsenal game. The atmosphere had badly deteriorated, so we left and headed off to Bank...
