The Blackfriar, Blackfriars

Place was mobbed at 6pm on a cold Tuesday evening in January, but the great ales, fast friendly service and historic interior makes it all worthwhile!

The Watchmakers Arms, Hove

Lovely micro-pub just by Hove station. Usually four or five ales on, served on gravity from a cold room behind the bar, plus a choice of interesting ciders. Run by two cheerful ladies, there's always a friendly atmosphere. Never had a bad pint and always worth a visit when in the area. Wish there were more pubs like this!

The Prince of Wales, Paddington

Average London boozer - single, rather drab, large room with horseshoe-shaped bar, TV and pool table. Only two cask ales on offer, the ubiquitous London Pride and Sharps Doombar at typical London prices. Selection of draught lagers and bottled beers but nothing special. You can sit outside with the smokers along two sides of the pub on a selection of benches and tables along one side and tables and chairs on the other (although beware of the latter as the outer chairs are filthy!).

Acceptable if there's nowhere else to go but nothing special sadly.
