The Bridge: Pub in Richmond upon Thames, London

The Bridge is a hidden venue in SW13, the kind of place you tend to hear about from someone who already goes. Its quiz nights say a lot about the room. They suit a crowd that comes back to the same table, knows the regulars, and treats the score as a running joke. Expect a mix of teams who have played together for years and newcomers who came for a drink and got pulled into a round. Nobody needs to be a know-it-all. A good quiz rewards the person who remembers the obscure band, and the friend who is hopeless at sport but unbeatable on geography. It suits an evening with no agenda. Bring a team you trust, or come alone and let someone rope you in.
