This lady was kind of enough to pose while I took a picture of the outside :)
Starting at the girl in the back left and going clockwise: Kelsey from South Carolina, Elizabeth from South Dakota, Emmalee, Pat, and Sami from New York. 
The second pub we went to, Knight's Templar, had really cool ceilings, as pictured above. I don't remember any random facts about this place, but it was hands down our favorite, mainly because it wasn't small and crowded, had good food/drinks, and the atmosphere. Plus it had a really cool bathrooms. Haha.Remember the story of Sweeney Todd? Well if you don't, I'll run it by you. Sweeney Todd was a barber on Fleet Street in London. Rumor has it, while he was giving his wealthy clients a haircut or shave, he would slit their throats with the clippers and send them through the trapdoor under the chair. His next door neighbor as well as lover, Mrs. Lovett, had a pie shop. There happens to a tunnel connecting to the two stores in the basement - can you imagine what Mrs. Lovett put in her pies?
Well anyways, our third pub was located in the former building of where this all took place. Here is a pic:
The final pub we went to was Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese. It's known for its lack of poor lighting, short doorways, and its regulars back in the day: Charles Dickens, Mark Twain, and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, to name a few.Now comes the question - what does everyone drink here? Beer. And more beer. Yes, they serve "mixies" and "alcopops" but a majority of the folks drink beer. You order it in either a pint or a half pint and order either stout, blonde, bitter, ale, or cider. A "girly" version of cider is called Cider & Black. Its cider mixed with black currant syrup - very sweet and very delicious.
