Going for Gold

London, England - (BTT) The Olympics have come and gone, so Londoners once again can return to their local pubs without being outnumbered by a flock of tourists. Occupying the ground floor of this gorgeous Georgian townhouse is the Sherlock Holmes Pub, named for a character that has seen quite a spike in popularity as of late. The gold trim along the entry facade as well as the golden accents on the floors above give this place a certain touch of class lacking in most buildings - not to mention the fact it compliments so many of the medals handed out to the great people of Britain these past weeks.

I'll Drink to That

Ye Olde Towne - (BTT) It's refreshing to see a place that serves refreshments that is quite content to keep it simple. Ollivander's Pub has been around for centuries, and so long as there remains a desire to grab a beer and munch on some snacks (which is possibly the most certain thing in life after death and taxes), expect to see it around for a few centuries more. Additional outdoor seating can be found beyond the arched passage, and behind the gorgeous white and black timber facade above lies an apartment that is as cozy as the pub below.

Gradient Expectations

London, England- (BTT) A great Victorian house, on top of a popular city pub is a great business model, and if the building doesn't draw customers, then the word of mouth should! On the ground floor of this raised building (With a brilliant sewer!), a small pub, complete with pool table, hat racks, booths and a bar, leading up to apartments on the top floor.The sloping steps is a design feature worthy of note, seeing as most Modular buildings are built on a level plain. However, switching things up turned out a beautiful design, and a truly unique building!

Ivy Lane Pub Crawl

Heritage Boulevard- (BTT) Irish pubs seem to be a popular theme in modular buildings these days. That makes it much harder to have yours stand out. Luckily, this one has what it takes. The upstairs balcony, the cast-iron fence around the tree out front, and the Irish flag adorning the side all make this to be an eye-pleasing building. The beautiful signage is a work of art in its own, with the excellent shamrock logo and hand-drawn nameplate. After all, when stopping down to the pub for a few tall ones, who doesn't want to be wowed by the facade?
