The Worlds End, Camden

Went there last night - nice layout, loads of room to move but not too much room to actually sit down and that was at 6:30pm on a Saturday ... but saddest of all was the very high prices - �3.20p for a 1 Pint glass of Lemonade - I was expecting to pay about �2 so �3.20p was a bit of a shocking price which literally encourages people to buy alcohol because at those kinds of prices you might as well do.

The Seven Stars, West Kensington

We went there to see Lou as Elvis and he was great - lots of fun - this pub feels less like being in a pub and more like being a welcomed guest in someone's front living room. John the owner looks after you and full of smiles - really nice chap. It's a shame there's a massive center partition in the pub as it means the area available during a live performance is almost halved. And more thought to the layout of the seating would be nice as well as a bit of a stage for Lou to perform on so the people at the back can see him more easily. But overall a good night out.

The Famous 3 Kings (F3K), West Kensington

Nice enough place on the inside and so easy to get to being right next door to the tube station - more of a Bar then a pub However be very careful about ordering a soft drink there - they totally fill up the entire glass to the very top with ice first and then pour in the soft drink - by far the most watery cola I've had in London in years and quite expensive. So using the words "No Ice" before every order is very important here.

Also their overhead signs says there are two for one deals available everyday and when we went there at 6pm on a Saturday - there was a single sheet of A4 paper just printed off with a very short list of food available saying sports day menu. The pub is known for showing sports all day, everyday so this could be a permanent menu for all we know. The burger and chips tasted good and was served in quite a nice space saving plate. However the quickly done up menu didn't explain it contains bacon, etc in it either which Jewish or Muslim customers especially might appreciate to know in advance before placing their orders..

Also the wait to be served is very long. When we went there it wasn't all that busy - just 6pm on a Saturday with no major games happening but the staff that were there took forever to serve you and when they did you had to repeat your order several times as they were not native speakers of English, so you struggled a bit to get your order in. This could be such an amazing place to visit on a regular basis but it's all let down by bad service and trying to squeeze every last penny out of the customer for the least amount of effort.
