Drink
The traditional drinking establishment is the "pub" (short for "public house"). These are normally
named after local landmarks or events, and most will have a heraldic (or pseudo-heraldic) symbol
on the sign outside; more recent establishments may poke fun of this tradition (e.g. "The Queen's
Head" featuring a portrait of Freddie Mercury, lead singer for the rock band Queen). England seems
to have an incredible number of pubs. While in a city you are usually not more than a 5 min walk
from any pub.

variety of alcoholic drinks. As well
as wines and spirits (mainly
imported, butsomelocal), all pubs
