St James's Park.

Although the UK city being discussed in the article appears to be
Leicester [some churls might claim that comparing Canada's best city
to one of the UK's worst isn't entirely fair...]

The pub across the road could well be The Feathers in St James's
which is said to be 0 miles from St James's Park station. I'm not
familiar with the area so that needs confirmation.

Thank you John. I thought it must have been a station on a sub-
surface line. Yes, the 'stock photo' was entirely out-of-context to
the content of the article.... and thanks for the vote as "Canada's
best city"

Spot on Ivan. Certainly is St James Park - Tube HQ to the right of the
picture.

A dreadful pub btw and often a haunt of soldiers from the nearby
barracks so it can a tad "rough" at times if someone says the wrong
thing. Last time I was in there (a long time ago) the beer was pretty
awful too.

The pub mentioned in the article is probably indeed in Leicester, as
John suggested (http://www.carling.com/beerfinder/venue_details/10591/
Leicester/Street%20Life/brands_stocked).... the photo is just a
generic stock photo...

St James's Park.
Indeed and I'd concur with Paul C's remarks on the place, too!

Although the UK city being discussed in the article appears to be
Leicester [some churls might claim that comparing Canada's best city

Vancouver is indeed a fabulous City and one of which I have the happiest
of memories. I'd take issue about Leicester being one of the UK's
worst, though.......

But they weren't writing about Victoria. By comparison, Vancouver is
terribly pedestrian.

Steps onto balcony, fails to get a GPS lock, probably because I can only
see ~25% of the sky. Google Earth sez 48°25'14.75"N 123°22'20.20"W.

AFAICT, at the moment Victoria is full of terrible pedestrians...
