^ Yes, the woodwork on the bar of The Bartons Arms is a work of art. I'm glad to hear that it's still standing.
Goofle's pics are great too. Ye Old Man and Scythe looks a nice place, but then I read "Rebuilt in 1636" on the front, so it's a mere 375 years old!

^ Aha! This answers a question I had in mind about how you knew Chiswick.
^ Thanks - that's a great list, with Goofle's very own Olde Man and Scythe at #9. I´ve actually seen pub #7, which is built up against a small cliff and dates back to the time of the Crusades.
This was one of my locals for several years: half hotel, and (to left, out of frame) half apartment building. IMO it is specifically the white and orange colours make it attractive, bringing out all the decorative details around the windows, etc - so of course someone got the shoddy idea of painting the "pub" part black, and ruining the harmonious look of the whole building.
