The Fusilier, Leamington Spa

More of an estate pub that just happens to sit right on the banks of a canal rather than the other way round. Looks quite appealing from a distance, until the dated 1960s L-shaped layout (that I suppose must have been refurbished at some stage). Expected amenities including sports TVs, pool table and dartboard, with the added excitement of a lady sat on a table on the low stage at the right-hand end calling bingo numbers for a crowd of three players. Two sadly disused handpumps, so made do with a quick John Smith's (just £3.25) before heading onwards.
