The King Edward VII, Stratford

Well, what a difference a day makes - a week or two at least. Went in on Saturday, having not been in for ages and didn't find any of the problems that lilchris did. Staff were attentive and friendly, three ales were on- Eddie's Best, Bombadier & Tribute - and the Eddie's was fine. Never really noticed that the prices were any higher than London in general, and I do notice the exceptions having been fleeced for �4.25 recently in a Sam Smiths pub for Weiss beer !
Overall my mate and I had a very enjoyable experience in the three hours or so spent here. Look forward to going back soon.....didn't encounter any 'undesirable elements', although the happy throng of Halloweeners who came in looked a bit fierce...

The Palm Tree, Mile End

Popped in around teatime earlier in the week, a friendly welcome from behind the bar, and excellent beer to boot. Landlord quite happy to chat about his beers and to elicit opinion on what we thought of them.
Nice atmosphere, excellent beer. Always worth a visit. Apparently opens at 12:30 on weekdays.

The Harp, Covent Garden

Worth taking a pair of boxing gloves to fight your way to the bar when it's busy ! However when you get there, don't despair, as you won't wait long for a well kept beer due to the excellent staff. This pub has gone from strength to strength and deserves it's popularity - always a pleasure to return...
Thanks......
