Moonbow Jakes, Brockley

This no longer exists in this format. Now a cafe called The Brockley Mess; I'm not sure if it has an alcohol license or not but its a decent cafe.

Gatehouse, Chichester

Wall to wall clunge on a Saturday night. A perverts paradise because of the stairs and see through walkway. Amazing

The Ravensbourne Arms, Lewisham

I've only been to the coach and horses a couple of times and that has always been to watch boxing. Although on first appearances the pub does have a slight air of menace to it I think it is actually not that bad.

Admittedly I did get trapped in conversation with someone who said he was considering taking up drug dealing as his next career move and the landlord looks like he could kill you with his little finger but I didn't actually feel unsafe.

Beer was ok but I'm no expert and they had an amazing range of multicoloured spirits behind the bar which is staffed with amiable barmaids - just don't put your drink too near to the till...

It's obvious that plenty of people in the pub know each other pretty well and are fairly matey. So I'd echo the previous comment about the regulars being ok beneath the slightly intimidating South London veneer.

I'll keep going back to watch the boxing.
