One Man Created The Biggest Virtual Pub Quiz

How One Man Created The Biggest Virtual Pub Quiz In The World (Esquire)

The idea came the day after Britain shut its pubs down. Flynn had left his pub behind three weeks earlier, but still wanted to provide something for the dedicated teams who turned up every Thursday night to The Crown. He created an event on Facebook for a digital pub quiz he planned to hold on a Saturday, and went about his weekend.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

REVEALED: Britain’s pub capitals – Who takes the Top spot?

We’re a nation of pub lovers, and due to being in lockdown, we haven’t been able to go out and do what Brits love best – go to the pub for a warming Sunday lunch, a quick after-work drink (or three), or a boozy night out with friends.

Liberty Games has analysed the addresses of over 51,679 British pubs and geographical data for over 350 boroughs, to see which part of Britain have the ‘highest pub density’. You can view our findings in full here.

Pubs have been a part of British life for around 2,000 years, brought to our shores by invading Romans, so it’s no surprise that our love of pubs runs deep. But which city across the UK has been crowned as Britain’s Pub Capital?

Taking the top spot is Liverpool with a total of 477 pubs scattered across the city, which equates to a whopping 11 pubs per square mile! Liverpool is the UK’s hotspot for pub crawls and the perfect destination for your post-lockdown pub crawl.

Following closely behind is Brighton and Hove with 340 pubs in total, and 11 pubs per square mile, making this city a real competitor for Liverpool in the quest for Britain’s Pub Capital.

Third place goes to Portsmouth with 163 pubs in total and 10 per square mile, followed closely by Norwich with 155 in total and 10 per square mile.

How do other cities around the UK compare? Take a look at the table below that reveals the top 10 cities for a post lockdown pub crawl:

Rank	Area	Pubs per square mile	Total pubs
1	Liverpool	11	477
2	Brighton and Hove	11	340
3	Portsmouth	10	163
4	Norwich	10	155
5	Bristol	9	393
6	Dundee City	9	193
7	Nottingham	9	259
8	Oxford	8	144
9	Dudley	8	305
10	Southampton	8	152

Looking at the real home of ale houses, London has had its own analysis of the 33 most pub populated boroughs. But which boroughs of London are leading the way in pubs per square mile?

Right at the heart of the city, it’s the City of London borough that takes the crown with a staggering 238 pubs in total. That works out as 213 pubs per 1 square mile, absolutely crawling with breweries and edgy craft beer pubs.

Westminster is the second pub capital in London with a total of 368 pubs, 44 per square mile. The third most pub-loved borough is Camden with 259 pubs in total equating to 31 per square mile.

Take a look at the table below showing the top 10 pub populated boroughs within London:

Rank	Borough	Pubs per square mile	Total pubs
1	City of London	213	238
2	Westminster	44	368
3	Camden	31	259
4	Islington	27	156
5	Hackney	27	199
6	Kensington and Chelsea	22	105
7	Tower Hamlets	21	163
8	Hammersmith and Fulham	19	123
9	Lambeth	19	196
10	Southwark	17	186
