On Saturday 1 November, members from Croydon & Sutton branch, Bromley, and SW London were welcomed by South Herts members Ben Wilkinson (centre, second from front) and Emily Ryans (right). We visited several fine pubs in St. Albans, mainly those which are in the Good Beer Guide 2026.

Pubs visited were the Great Northern, the Beehive, White Hart Tap, Garibaldi, Boot Inn, Lower Red Lion, Farriers Arms, Mermaid and Robin Hood. Thank you to Ben and Emily, and the other S. Herts members for being such welcoming hosts. (Photo: John Butler)
