As a celebration of the democratic process our friends at Fancyapint.com have come up with a top ten list of pubs with an election theme. They apologise in advance for any that are a bit of a stretch, but hey, these lists don't grow on trees. So, whether you want to escape the election madness or go watch the initial results with a pint, here's a few places to go - after you've voted, of course!
And while the results roll in don't forget to tweet us @londonist three sheets to the wind for almost guaranteed inclusion in our election night liveblog. More of which in the morning....
- The Red Rose
(Finsbury Park)
Well, it has to be Labour, really, if you're so inclined and can watch the results.
(Piccadilly)We're not insinuating anything, but the Conservatives are blue.- Westminster Arms
(Whitehall)A pub not far from the seats of power and aptly named.- Red Lion
(Whitehall)This famous pub in the heart of Whitehall has its own division bell and shows Parliament TV.- The Speaker
(Westminster)Another aptly named and reasonable pub near the Houses of Parliament.- The Chancellors
(Hammersmith)Nothing to do with politics beyond the name, and we're not sure they'll be watching the elections.- Gladstone Arms
(Borough)Named for a former prime minister who (as may happen in this election) led a minority Liberal government in 1892.- The Green Man
