The pub that changed me: ‘While drinking and singing there I met my partner’

I was a bit nervous when I first joined a pop choir that included a weekly pub singalong. I needn’t have worried

When I walked into Auberge, a pub near Waterloo station in London, on Thursday 21 October 2021, I didn’t know a soul. By kicking-out time, I had 50 new friends. I’ve been back almost every Thursday since.
