A friend of mine and I will be traveling from Minneapolis to London for 12 days. We want to soak up some cool, historic pubs in the evenings but we want good food and atmosphere as well. We are laid back beer drinkers who like stuff like wings, burgers, pizza, etc. I have looked at the huge online lists and they are overwhelming. I would love some input from the locals on where to go! Cheers!


Answer
The George Inn is so historic, it is owned and run by the National Trust. It is the only surviving galleried coaching inn in London. You can find it at 77 Borough High Street. It is close to London Bridge tube station.
Close by you will find the Market Porter, opposite the entrance to the famous Borough Market.This pub opens very early in the morning to serve the market porters.
Both these pubs sell food.
Around the corner adjoining the market is a small pub called the Rake. They sell alot of american beers.
I know you will enjoy these, we do!!!
If you decide to come through to East London, there is the famous "Jack the Ripper" pub, the Ten Bells. This is on Commercial Road, near Liverpool Street Station. My favourite is just along the road, The Golden Heart. A typical, traditional, popular London boozer. Neither of these serve food, but there are plenty of restaurants near by.
If you come as far East as Stratford, perhaps to see how the Olympic Stadium is coming on, do visit our local, The Eddie on Stratford Broadway. (Proper name The Prince Edward).
This is an old pub, you step down into it as the pavement outside has been raised over the years. It was formerly called The Prince of Prussia, but the name was changed during the Crimean war. This pub does serve excellent food.
If you visit Soho, all the pubs have history. Our favourites are The French House and De Hems.

Back again with more.
Along the Thames at Wapping there are several historic pubs. Start at The Prospect of Whitby, which originates from 1543. There is also The Captain Kidd and half a mile along the river, The Town of Ramsgate.All these back onto the river. It was a spectacle in the old days to hang pirates there, then watch as their bodies were covered by the tide.
On the South side at Rotherhithe, you will find the ancient Mayflower Inn. This was named after the Pilgrim Fathers' ship that sailed from Rotherhithe. It had to put into Plymouth for repairs.
Have fun exploring.

Can I prohibit a tenant from running daycare center in apartment?

My husband who works nights and I live on the second floor of a two-family home in New London, CT. Our new tenants want to run a daycare out of their apartment on the first floor. Can we tell them no?


Answer
The odds of your apartment being zoned for commerical use is pretty close to zero. I highly doubt they even have a business license. I am surprised parents allow them to watch their kids, I would be terrified.

Yes, tell them no and either evict them or just call the city, the city, or even CPS would put a stop to that.
