The Kilkenny, South Wimbledon

This is a little gem of a pub. Its very homely and comfortable with a friendly clientele. The drinks are nice and very reasonably priced, staff are effiecient and friendly. Little bit unkept but definitely worth a visit

The Pride of Pimlico, Pimlico

I lived in the area as a student in 2000/01 and i frequented here quite often. At the time it was a very friendly and enjoyable place. It was always a bit of a laugh and was a typical back street pub. Little bit dirty and tatty but it added to the charm in a way. There are a few retired day time drinkers that you have with any residential pub and unfrotunately they do seem to want to talk to each and everyone but they mean well.
I have been here more recently in October 2010 for old times sake and it has not changed apart from the number of day time drinkers which now includes a good number of the unemployed and the light heartedness has been replaced with a gloomy atmosphere. I wouldn't say its a rough place, but it certainly stands in contrast to other pubs/bars in Pimlico.

The GlassHouse, New Malden

To Chav Hater - The bag lady is called Rose, she is barred from Bar Malden, as she told me during what seemed to be a very long and unenjoyable cigarette break. Unfortunately a few of the regulars from BM have moved here.
I like the glasshouse, prices are high, but i thought this was a deterrent to some of the crowd that drink in the other places in New Malden but unfortunately a few go in for their daily 12pm drinking session.
The staff in here are excellent, very polite and friendly, atmosphere is very good at night and relaxed during the day for a late lunch (unless you are set upon by bag lady). The food is excellent again on the pricey side. Very clean and welcoming.
They should get rid of the bag lady and then it would be by far the best bar in New Malden.
