I spent months secretly contacting the country's most powerful politicians to find out their favourite pubs in the capital.
Then I went on a @londonermag.bsky.social pub crawl to find out who has the best taste. It really wasn't who I was expecting.

In February 2013, a British man died while visiting a friend in the US state of Arizona.
For the next 12 years he was unidentified — known only as ‘Maricopa County John Doe 2013’.
This year, thanks to a team of staff and students at Sheffield Hallam University, his family finally have closure.
