Although I think pubs are great because they are just fun places to be at and to socialize, I cannot help but thinking of Buenos Aires, Paris or Madrid, or anywhere in Italy, or in so many other countries, where people do not need alcohol to unwind after a day at the office.

Pubs in London start getting crowded since five in the afternoon. People stay for hours and hours. However, in other countries, people can stay for hours in cafes. I think that “happy hour” is more traditional here in England than anywhere else. 

I guess every pub or bar in London is charming, but if I had to choose an area, it would be Soho, just because it is more reminiscent of the other European cities that I mentioned, with people having coffee while sitting in small tables on the street, whether it is day or night.
