Half of my family are from Kent, England and it's only in recent years that I have been able to visit. I've been there three times and I stayed at my Aunt and Uncle's house for part of the time. They live on the sleepy isle of Sheppey in south-eastern England, and I managed to stumble upon an analogue lover's dream while on a walk there one day.

One of the main traditions in the UK around Halloween, is to don your finest scary costume, and go to a nightclub for a night of drinking and dancing and trying not to let your facepaint melt in the heat!

So when we were given this month's CitySlicker task the first thing that sprang to mind as something that made me instantly think of Leeds, was the Otley Run. It is the first thing you are introduced to when you move here as a student, and it is the place where a lot of bonding takes place!

V&A Waterfront, a place for everything! There is no other place like V&A Waterfront, seriously! You can meet the whole world here: people who come to Cape Town but are too afraid to explore, so they stayed at the Waterfront Hotels, eat at the waterfront restaurants, shop at the Waterfront shops...

An acceptable pub in Wimbledon that doesn't smell weird and isn't too loud or too small. Hurrah for the safe haven of pub chains that is Wetherspoons.

The oldest riverside inn in the UK, The Prospect of Whitby was founded in 1522 and is the UK's oldest surviving riverside inn. The original flagstone floor survives and the pub also has a rare pewter-topped bar as well as old barrels and ship masts built into the structure. Most areas of the pub have spectacular views over the River Thames, including the beer garden and first floor balcony and terrace.

Lo and behold at the Crestview Train Station is Black Star Coop Brewery and Restaurant. Found on the Metro line, it's the only cooperatively-owned brewery across the globe. Pretty amazing to have a Coop Brewery open to anyone in the Austin community. I had a fresh beer in one hand and my lomo cameras in the other. I was one happy Lomographer!

A pub to write your debut novel in or just talk about it in, while you get drunk for just over a tenner...

A famous pub in the north side of Manila, Philippines. Route 196 is located near Blue Ridge Katipunan, Quezon City. Though this has been known as a gig place, it is definitely more than just music and drinks. It is the alternate route to great music, food, and art.

Possibly the greatest pub in the UK!

The first time I went to this pub was during the World Congress in 2007. A group of us were wandering around the Chinatown/SoHo area after the day's festivities and stumbled upon it after being disappointed that so many places closed early. De Hems is open until midnight all days of the week save for Sunday. What a happy surprise as this is a wonderful pub.

After a hard day of work, there's nothing better than hanging out with your friends to release some pressure, meet new people and simply have a good time listening to live music and playing some pool. You can get all of this in Logan's Irish Pub!

Welcome to one of the most famous pubs in London. The Hawley Arms has hit headlines with fires, Amy Winehouse impromptu gigs. Yet it's atmosphere is the main reason I love to drink there. Drop in for a pint sometime!
