The Anchor, Southwark

The only thing going for this pub is the location. As others have commented on here, the service leaves a lot to be desired. I can't understand why they seem only to have one bar open despite the crowds. The Beer is expensivish (though not the most expensive in the area), choice is always somewhat limited and the amount of empty pint glasses left around on tables untidied leaving the impression that its not cleaned often.

Also I, and a work colleague, can separately attest to this pub being a haven for Bag thieves. Not necessarily the fault of the management, but my experience wasn't satisfactory in the manner it was dealt with by the staff. Southwark police, on the other hand, were excellent!

This place won't go out of business as it has a fantastic location and a steady supply of naive tourists - it is a real shame though, because it could be a cracking pub with its location and internal layout and spacious outdoor seating by the river.

The Famous 3 Kings (F3K), West Kensington

This pub has just undergoe a refurbishment - although cosmetically it looks like Lawrence Llewellyn-Bowen may have run riot, it pretty much is the same ol' pub. Paint job on the exterior and the new furnishings make this look quite a smart place. However it still feels like the old pub - if you liked it before, great - otherwise go to the cumberland arms up north end road - a much nicer pub overall
