Edinburgh Road, PortsmouthPO1 1DE

This tiny cornerhouse is a fine example of the kind of pub that once proliferated in this part of Portsmouth. A stones-throw from HM Naval Base and the city centre, the pub has become known worldwide due to its naval connections and is a frequent meeting place for members of the Type 42 Association (the body dedicated to all those who have served on a Royal Navy Type 42 destroyer). The bar is traditionally furnished and has much maritime memorabilia displayed on its walls, including a collection of Royal Navy ships' badges. Nowadays, clientele is mostly drawn from the local area, though it is not uncommon to find yourself rubbing shoulders with former navy personnel from far and wide!
