The Good Mixer, Camden

Since refurbishment it's become another middle class joint, zero fun, and no longer the kind of place where you can expect to strike up conversation with other punters. No longer a safe bet for a bit of a laugh on a night out.

The Wheatsheaf, Stoke Newington

Been in there recently, definitely a few older Irish knockin about, a firmly working class pub with good service. Was quite busy, yet I was served easily each time. Cheap as chips (well under £4 a pint), and I get the feeling the regulars sitting up at the bar would warm to you after a visits. Definitely no looks over the shoulder or any of that.

Cherish these kind of places while they still exist.

The Cock Tavern, Euston

Every comment remains valid as of 2018, especially regarding the type of drinkers in there. However - to my surprise - they've refurbished the bathrooms, new tiles, sinks etc, and so gladly no odours to report. They really could do with replacing the front signage as the plywood is rotting away, doing so would definitely entice more passers-by into the place.

£3.50 for a Guinness, which was quite a good pint.
