Bootsy Brogans, Wembley

Also visited this pub pre curry last night. I can't comment on the quality of the beer because I had some generic lager or other. Which was cold, wet and generic so I suppose it met expectations. Not the sort of pub I'd normally go into because a) the name's stupid-sounding and b) it has the faintly menacing air that every pub near a station seems to have. This latter aspect may just be an invention of my weakling office worker mind, however.

The Jerusalem Tavern, Clerkenwell

Nice place, friendly guy at the bar who was suspiciously well-informed about the Singing Thai Elvis restaurant. Smell of cooking food when we stumbled in was distinctly pleasing.

Not sure there's any room for more staff.

Great place for a random pre lunch random lager thing. Otherwise a bit tiny in the evening.

Old Nick, Holborn

Attractively done out place w/ a pleasant atmosphere. Bit of a bugger to find. One of the few pubs in central London that could plausibly have seating outside (but doesn't).

Don't know what's so bad about being 'rammed with barristers and office workers'. Lovely sets of people, both of them and as deserving of a drink as the next man.
