The biggest pubs in the UK with converted cinemas and the longest bar in England
HEADING to the pub for a pint is part of British culture, with nearly 40,000 venues across the UK.
If you fancy a beer without the crowds, thankfully there are some huge pubs in the country where you can still get some personal space.
We've rounded up some of the largest drinking establishments across the country, from converted cinemas to the longest bar in England.
The Regal, Cambridge
The Regal, a Wetherspoons pub, was originally built in 1937 as the Regal cinema.
It was then the most up-to-date cinema in Cambridge and called a ‘palace’ by cinema-goers of the 1930s.
Today you can stop by for a pint and a pizza while watching something on the big screens.
