Timely visit to the Shades at 7.27 on 31/08/12 on an Olympic crawl with Swedish partners in crime Torsten and Viggo. Our halves of London Pride were staggeringly quaffable. A fabulous pub - my rating of 10/10 remains!

Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese, Fleet Street
Bounded into the Cheshire Cheese at 10.38 on 02/03/12 with Jens and Benard. A superlative half of Old Brewery Bitter rounded off another fantastic session. Thanks to Jens and Benard, who paid for the drinks all night, and thanks for the invite to Antwerp! Sensational.

A magnificent climax at the end of a birthday crawl with two friends on 21/10/11. I had a Top Class half of Courage Best. The pub was absolutely BUZZING on our visit. Being somewhat inebriated I must say I am greatly indebted to my companions Wolfgang and Helmut who 'escorted' me home safely. Great stuff guys.

The Prince of Wales Ale House, Highgate

Bounded into the Fountain with three friends on Wednesday 3rd August at 9.47pm. An extremely warm welcome was afforded us by the drinkers at the bar who seemed unable to stop laughing!! At least eight beers on offer in this marvellous pub, I opted for an exquisitely quaffable half of Saltaire Cascade.
This remains a TOP PUB. Do visit!! You will not regret it!!

Bounded into the Wenlock with three friends on Wednesday 3rd August at 8.33pm and was somewhat taken aback to find a total of two people in the pub. After I recovered from the shock of such a small clientele in the Greatest Pub in the History of Pubs Ever I managed to tell one of my friends what I wanted to drink. My half of Harvey's Tom Paine was simply DIVINE. There were at least five or six other ales on offer, including one that had a photograph of some old geezer amateurishly sellotaped to the pump clip. We would have had another half here but time was pressing on!

The Gloucester Arms, Kentish Town
Pranced into this lovely old boozer a few days back. Had several ambrosial halves of Guinness. Some of the customers looked at me in a funny way, though.

The Southampton Arms, Gospel Oak
Simply magnificent session here on Tuesday. All ales sampled on nectareous top form. Some classy jazz from Jamie Cullum was playing unobtrusively in the background. Top pub.

Bounded into the Pride for another exquisite evening of great beer and convivial conversation. Brewers Gold on top form. Marvellous.

Another fabulous evening at this pub at the end of a City crawl with three friends. On the pumps I espied Dark Star Porter, Downton New Forest Ale and Adnams Abbey. I had two pints of Woodforde's Wherry which were absolute nectar. Atmosphere as convivial as ever and surprisingly busy for a Monday night.
One of London's premiere pubs for Real Ale.

The Pride of Spitalfields, Shoreditch
Bounded into this pub on Friday lunchtime for a long overdue return visit. The pub is unchanged since my last call. Fullers Pride and ESB, Sharps Doom Bar and Crouch Vale Brewers Gold on the pumps. I had two wholly exquisite pints of Brewers Gold.
I did not eat here having eaten earlier but the food looked good - the gentleman sitting next to me had a generous portion of fish and chips on his plate. Looking at the menu board, prices are incredibly cheap - and 'Mary's Pantry' was doing brisk business - people were bypassing the bar and heading straight for the food counter!
There was a relaxed atmosphere in the pub during my visit.
This is an absolute gem of a pub - do visit!

The Harp, Covent Garden
Bounded into the Harp at 8.42 on 31/08/12 on an Olympic crawl with dreamboat duo Torsten and Viggo. Orgasmic halves of Hophead rounded off another fantastic session. The Harp remains a Top pub - friendly staff, friendly customers, convivial atmosphere. My personal thanks to Torsten and Viggo, who were superb company all evening. Keep it up guys!
