S0117 The Lord Edward

Getting in to this pub involved some slight confusion over the door. It's tiny. The pub itself is quite small, although checking its website (as I normally do when writing the post on a pub) shows that I missed "one of the best-kept secrets" in the upstairs lounge.

A small enough pub of long standing in one of the few original buildings in its surroundings, the pub was probably less well known than the seafood restaurant on the second floor, which closed a few years back. The entire area around the pub has been heavily redeveloped, and the photo on the Come Here To Me article about it shows it standing alone in 1979.

Once I found my way inside, it was surprisingly easy to find a seat for a Saturday afternoon. A decent selection of pints and a good mix of locals with some tourists made for a enjoyable hour or so.
