I stumbled upon the tom cribb pub last night, it had lots of boxing memorabillia and claimed to be the same bar tom frequented 200 years ago.
are there any others, there's not a Lennox Lewis somewhere on a street corner is there?

I remember stumbling across the Tom Cribb and being delighted. The next day I couldn't remember if it was a dream or not! Certainly couldn't remember where it was

I stumbled across a pub in Munich one night, absolutely hammered, and the memoribila in there was amazing. I couldn't find it the next day. Loads of Ali stuff, I'm guessing the landlord was the German guy who boxed him.

I WAS THERE for the Wlad/Haye fight, it was owned by the guy who Ali fought, he died and its owned by his wife.Loads of belts and pics on display .Cracking venue to watch a fight, well unique.

The Ring in Blackfriers is a famous boxing pub. The London Ex Boxers Association (LEBA) used to hold their meetings there.

No idea, pretty central though. This was in 2004.

I used to go to the Lonsdale shop quite regular when it was in Beak st in Soho about 10 years back.
At the end of beak st there was a pub which had quite a lot of Lennox Lewis stuff behind the bar - signed photos, gloves etc.
Dont know if it still has though. Could have been took over by new owners.

Used to love walking round Soho.
Found Mickey Duffs office in Wardour St, Goslett yard where Freddie Mills was shot and Great Windmill St where Jack solomons used to have his office.

Always remember Dennie Mancini telling me to keep out of the Clip joints cos I'd be ripped off! Nice Man Dennie was.

I know Cafe Schiller, it's near the main station and a whole load of strip clubs. Don't remember it being full of boxing gear though.
