The London Apprentice, Old Isleworth

Just had a major refurb and certainly looks a lot better than it has in the past couple of years. The function room upstairs is a bar option now too. Went there on the night of the Varsity Game so it was pretty rammed but all good natured with a few people trying out the new menu too. Early doors for the new landlord still. Since this is a place that really comes into its own in the summer maybe he could drum up a bit of atmosphere in the darker months with a music or quiz night? They've been a bit hit and miss in the past but Murray seemed to get them working. Too a good a pub not to be busy and the best view a snoutcast smoker could ask for.

The Somerstown Coffee House, Euston

Great pub. Stumbled across it whilst out on a school night in the characterless concrete congestion that is Euston. Spacious, clean and civil enough clientle and staff. The real ales - especially Eagle - are spot on. Very smooth. Food is French so fine if you're keen on anything that my have been walking or swimming that morning but veggies are limited to chips and little else. Bloody good chips though.

St Margarets Tavern, St Margarets

Things are looking up in this pub. The place has changed beyond all recognition but thankfully a lot of the trash has gone with it. Lots of women getting in there these days and the menu's not too samey. It's started showing football and the tuesday quiz is one of the better ones in the area. Have been there a lot of late and can recommended the specials - their dishes not the ska band and it's a good place to bring people for lunch too. Just needs a few more veggie options though please manager?
