The Bricklayers Arms, Putney

What an amazing find--Been a few times now and well worth the walk over the river and the finding. I could become a regular visitor amongst the many 'characters' in this friendly little freehouse pub.
Wooden floors, comfortable seating and a real fire,with bar games and excellent accoustics for chatting rather than shouting(or braying as they do in Fulham n Chelsea it seems all to often),no beige muzac but instead a fine and changing background of jazz,r n b, and soul, a great landlady and staff and superbly kept real ales to die for....I understand that they are now fully stocked cos the Timothy Taylor seemed to fly out of the pumps on the busy saturday that I went there first. For a while they could not keep enough beer !
I have also been on a quiter Sunday and stuffed with the �6.95 roast lamb which was huge .Looks like there is going to be more food through the week and the landlady was busy having a baby and opening up an outside seating area on old flag stone with a real,separate baconbutty bbq for those fulham footie home match days!.
One of the most delightful pubs I have come across in London and oh those real beers,most at �2.70. Quality and price..Apologies for such a biased rave review!
