Captain Flinders, London

A new Spoons pub which opened in Jan 2024. Quite a low ceiling and can get very busy due to proximity to Euston Station. In Dec 2024 there were 3 guest beers from Elgood's, Sambrook's and Twickenham. No doubt these will rotate. There are TV screens but they all seem to run silent.

Archaeologists working at the Euston station redevelopment (as the London HS2 terminus) discovered the remains of Captain Matthew Flinders. The Royal Navy explorer led the first circumnavigation of Australia (1801–03) and is credited with giving the country its name. He was not the first to use the term, but his work and publications popularised it. On the station’s main concourse is a statue of Flinders leaning over a map, with his pet cat Trim.
