The Salutation, Hammersmith

This is still a proper pub - old fashioned in the best sense. Friendly staff and landlord and always well kept beer. I have no idea where the previous comment about "oxidised" beer comes from. The Salutation has some of the best beer in the area and the ESB is superior, attracting a steady stream of drinkers from other Fullers pubs where they just can't get it right. And please, no gastro-theming for this pub, you'd be spoiling a little gem.

The Charlie Butler, Mortlake

Another one bites the dust. Apparently this is shortly to be demolished to make way for yet more flats/housing.

The Sun Inn, Barnes

I'm not sure how much of a consolation it is that the reason you can't get served is because the bar-staff are inadvertently useless and slow, as if that is somehow a redeeming feature. All I know is that it isn't the fault of the poor thirsty sods at the bar who are trying to hand over their hard-earned (but most of whom have now given up and gone to other local pubs with a slightly more obliging attitude).
