The New Cross House, New Cross

The policy of recruiting pretty barmaids with bare midriffs only works to a point, if they are all too self-absorbed to serve customers competently (or at all).

The Queens Head, St Pancras

A new find for me, and a good one at that. Echo all the comments here: interesting beers on tap and in the fridge, good surroundings, full of trendies and guardianistas. Herbs hanging from the ceiling, and scrabble on the tables. Not busy when we visited on the Tuesday evening after work, but limited seating - still worth a perch for a quick few. Probably my new KX meeting venue - lucky gits.

The Old Haberdasher, New Cross

Hmm..some suspicious commenting activity on here. Anyway, far better place than its last incarnation. Very friendly staff, and food was very well priced for huge portions - of reasonable quality. Good choice on tap, and lots of stuff in the fridge too. Some teething troubles which they should sort out to not put off those who popped in on the off-chance, notably: aroma de urinal (except IN the toilets, where it was very bleachey), too dark and slightly under heated, sports on every TV (wheras the decor and gastro feel does not suggest a sports pub - who is the target audience?), no veggie options. I really would like this place to survive - so hopefully they will address these commments. I will always pop in for a pint whenever passing.
