Holborn Whippet, Camden

Finally got round to visiting this highly recommended craft pub last week and a thoroughly enjoyable experience it was too. The fella behind the bar let me sample a couple before I went for a lovely Moor beer. At £3.40 a pint it was very reasonable for central London. Great choice of beers that understandably get more expensive as they get stronger. Looking forward to my next visit.

The Phoenix, Victoria

£10.05 for an Estrella and a Heineken cooking lager. Victoria is pricey and isn't great for pubs but this is a getting a bit ridiculous. Had a pint of Ghost Ship next and it just wasn't very nice at all, bordering on vinegary. It's quite a nice looking pub and would be fine for sharing a bottle of wine. However, if they're not going to be sensible with their prices they won't get many people who fancy popping in for a couple of pints.

The Dukes Head, Putney

Nice looking pub but rather soul-less. A watched a barman, who clearly couldn't care less, serve four pints of Meantime to a youngster and then ask him for c.£20 without warning him it was very expensive. He won't be back and others will no doubt follow him out the door given time. The Bricklayers has far more charm, selection, atmosphere...
