collection: the golden mile pub crawl from the world’s end
started by chewing_the_scenery
Here's a map of the pubs in Newton Haven's "Golden Mile" pub crawl from Edgar Wright's The World's End. The movie was primarily shot in Letchworth Garden City and Welwyn Garden City in England.

Letchworth Garden City and Welwyn Garden City combined to become the fictional town of Newton Haven for The World's End, the third movie in Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost's so-called Cornetto Trilogy.
The last eight pubs from the "Golden Mile" pub crawl are located in Letchworth, although they all have made-up names that tie into the events of the movie, and a few of them, just in case you have the idea to attempt the pub crawl yourself, aren't actual pubs.
The United Kingdom's first roundabout in the movie though is real. It's Letchworth's Sollershott roundabout that dates back to 1909. Some vegetation had to be removed for the stunt at the end of the movie, but producers worked with the city to replant all the flowers and shrubs.

The first four pubs in the "Golden Mile" pub crawl from The World's End are located in Welwyn Garden City.
Pub number one, The First Post, was filmed at Pear Tree. The interior of Pear Tree is also used for the interior of their next stop The Old Familiar.

The exterior of The Doctors Tonic in Welwyn was turned into the fictional pub The Old Familiar for the "Golden Mile" pub crawl in The World's End.
To show the "starbucking" of their favorite old pubs, the interior of The Old Familiar was shot where The First Post was filmed so that it would be identical to their first stop.

Things start to get weird when the crew makes it to The Cross Hands, stop four on the "Golden Mile" pub crawl from The World's End.
This is the fourth and last pub filmed in Welwyn. It's the Parkway Bar just around the corner from the previous pub The Famous Cock.
