Where is the pub ? Was that it's real name

[–] dale79 8 years ago

Victor's death scene was filmed outside The Bridge Inn (Hotel and Pub) near Shawford railway bridge, next to the River Itchen, in Shawford, Hampshire, England, UK.

However the pub where the reunion was meant to be held was actually The Golden Lion in Camden, London. Both interior and exterior scenes for that segment of the episode were shot there. The pub was renamed 'The Stranger's Rest' in the episode.

OK, that's the pub I meant where the reunion was.

I believe that is the one yes, in Camden. If you search for images of it online you can see that this is the corner where Victor's taxi pulls away as Limpy Briddock's black cab pulls up and they basically miss each other by a whisker.
You can also see pictures of the interior.
I think it was threatened with closure for some reason about a decade ago, but a petition was got up and it remained open, to my knowledge it is still open today. Those who signed the petition included actors Richard Wilson and allegedly Sean Bean!

Cheers for that
