The Falklands pub crawl: sinking pints in Las MalvinasThere aren’t many places more sacred and special to the British than the pub, and in the Falkland Islands, the South Atlantic archipelago, some 7,900 miles from London, that’s especially true.
In this remote, windswept British territory, the pub isn’t just somewhere to grab a beer; it’s an essential part of the community.
Through the years, the pub has been a town hall, recruitment office and even, during the 1982 Falklands War, a refuge for civilians.
Based in East Falklands, Stanley offers us one of the world’s most unique pub crawls, taking just 20 minutes of walking for five pints of the good stuff and over 180 years of history.
Then, nearly 70 years later, it was integral to the British victory in the Falklands War, as Operation Corporate unfolded with British warships arriving offshore.
