We discovered the Ship and Shovell today. It’s a pub of two halves under the arches of Charing Cross split in two by Craven passage. It’s a rare thing in central London: a pub off the tourist trail with decent beer and food.
We used the occasion to welcome Mital and Chrissie to our growing ranks. In the event of any confusion they’re the women in the snap below sat either side of Steve (the gormless looking one) and me.

John Brown took the snap with his shiny new Panasonic DMC-TZ8.
