Although it's not as small as some of the pubs mentioned "The Little Gem" (I don't think it was named after the lettuce !) in Aylesford village, Kent is quite small. At least it's large enough for Linda and myself to sing in, with a small audience as well.

The link to Swan Upping was quite interesting - I used to go up the Thames with them on my boat and we had some good sessions in some of the pubs. The landlord of "The Two Brewers" at Shoreham, Kent (now no longer a pub) used to be a member of the crew of the Vintner's "Hat" boat.

Wrotham, Kent, has a pub called "The Three Postboys" which I haven't seen elsewhere.
