Cameron and Xi let down their hair with fish and chips in a London pub


In the course of his state visit to England, Chinese President Xi Jinping accompanied by British Prime Minister David Cameron headed for a traditional British pub to indulge in a beer and a portion of traditional fish and chips. The two world leaders wore suits but were tieless and sipped their ales at The Plough. This is close to the residence of the British prime minister located in Chequers northwest of London.
This has been reported in timesofindia.indiatimes.com dated 23 October 2015.
The pub had hunting guns hanging on the bare-brick wall behind them and the landlord of the pub has said that the two leaders had chatted for around three-quarters of an hour and had been "extremely friendly".
Incidentally, the history of the pub goes back to the 16th century when it used to be a staging post for London coaches.
