Entertainment in Southeast England
-
Black Lion Inn
Roman malting ovens were found here. Probably the least atmospheric of all St Albans pubs.

Talk of Tea
This sparklingly new teahouse will leave you with a classic black, white, green, herbal or fruit dilemma as it stocks Brighton's biggest selection of teas (almost 60). Early opening, freshly made sarnies and cakes, and free wi-fi make this a superb spot to start the day.

King St Tavern
Just what a British pub should be: friendly and un-messed-about with. Buffed wood and old mirrors frame long tables around which to share a pint; it's home to jazz and folk sessions, too.

Out on the university campus, this large long-established venue puts on plenty of contemporary plays, modern dance and great live music.

Brighton Rocks
Incongruously located in an alley of garages and used-car lots, this cocktail bar is firmly on the Kemptown gay scene, but welcomes all comers. 'Shocktails' and the 'man wall' aside, there's a damn fine 'grazing' menu and theme parties and other events lure in the punters.

Thomas Becket
This classic English pub has a garden's worth of hops hanging from its timber frame, several quality ales to sample and a traditional decor of copper pots, comfy seating and a fireplace to cosy up to on winter nights. It also serves decent pub grub.

Simple Simons
If you've come to Britain on a real-ale pilgrimage, this is one stop you shouldn't miss. A medley of local beers, guest ales, stouts, porters and scrumpy line the bar in this atmospheric 15th-century pub, which has a heavy-beamed ceiling, a roaring fire and a rhododendron-dotted rear garden.

Parrot
Built in 1370 on Roman foundations, Canterbury's oldest boozer has a snug, beam-rich pub downstairs and a much-lauded dining room upstairs under yet more aging oak. Needless to say, many a local microbrew ale is pulled in both.

The eclectic events calendar features everything from a resident DJ to open-mike nights, and from cabaret to live music, all in a heritage-listed 18th-century ballroom

New Marlowe Theatre
The old Marlowe Theatre was bulldozed in 2009 and the spanking new, state-of-the-art building bolted together in its place opened in late 2011. Established from day one as the southeast's premier venue for performing arts, the New Marlowe attracts top companies and quick-selling productions. Check out the bizarre auditorium, with its dark faux veneers contrasting sharply with life-jacket orange seats.
