Liverpool Arms/L.A.

The Liverpool Arms, or L.A. as it has been renamed by its new management, is the pub closest to the Northgate. It has a largely gay clientele, and serves a decent pint by all accounts. The pub was formerly known by a variety of other names: in 1822 it was The Liverpool Tavern, and at other times over the years The Dog and Partridge, The Bull and Dog and, in 1789, The Loggerheads Tavern- the sign at this time depicted two stupid-looking clowns, with underneath the motto "We three loggerheads be"- the spectator, of course, counting as one of the three.
