Short Hops — The Pub Canon

A curated guide to London's finest pubs — assessed against 13 named criteria and described with two things: what each pub is known for, and what to order.

Built by

Ashwin. London, 2025–26.

The Canon is opinionated by design.

The Canon

The 13 Canon badges — from The Orwell Standard to The Hogarth Clause — are original criteria created for Short Hops. Each is grounded in a literary or cultural reference but the assessments, descriptions, and editorial voice are entirely the work of this project.
