The Flying Scotsman, Caledonian Road

I have been in there in a suit and tie carrying a laptop, and again in jeans and a rugby top and get treated exactly the same no matter what I look like. I can also say i have never felt threatened there either unlike some other places i could think of. I agree with the other reviewer.. you get what is on the tin. And that said unless you know from word of mouth what it is like you are not likely to wander in by mistake. As a hint though.. if you are planning a couple of drinks make sure you have a pocket full of 50p pieces! And leave the other half at home!

The Duke of Argyll, Soho

When you consider the prices in many of the nearby watering holes this is a bargain And you get a decent pint in a good atmosphere of what is, in my humble opinion, what a pub should be like

Metropolitan Bar, Baker Street

Nice choice of beer on tap, and the usual Wetherspoon food choices but, after having visited several times in the last week I have a criticism. It has never been overly busy when i have been there yet the staff still seem unable to clear the tables of glasses and empty plates. And those tables that have been cleared could have done down with a wipe down. Now i accept a pub has glasses on the tables. But for a table to sit for an hour at a quiet time with glasses and dirty plates on it while 3 staff stand behind the bar with no great rush on is not acceptable and is very off putting. Lets down what could be a very good pub
