Right, now to the spiritual heart of the show: the Nags Head. This isn’t just any pub; it’s where Del Boy perfected the art of the “public schoolboy” handshake and where Rodney’s heart got broken every other week. The real boozer is The Golden Heart pub in the Southwark area of London. Go in there today, and you’ll find it’s still a proper local—no gaudy memorabilia, just sticky floors and the faint smell of defeat.
But here’s the kicker: the interior was entirely a set at BBC Television Centre. The exterior you see on TV? That’s the only bit that’s real. So when you walk in, don’t expect Trigger to be nursing a half-pint of snakebite in the corner. You’re more likely to find a bloke on a laptop arguing about his VPN. Still, it’s a lovely spot for a selfie and a quick “Mange tout” to the barman.
