The Skinners Arms, Kings Cross

Street corner boozer close to Kings Cross and St Pancras stations, popular with commuters in the early evenings and tourists at all times of the day. Reasonable food and a good selection of real ales, better than most in this area.

The Angel Vaults Inn, Hitchin

Very, very, very, very (very) busy pub! Good Wetherspoons conversion of old buildings with standard fayre and ever changing mix of relatively well kept ales. Disappointment is that most of the fresh faced bar staff do not have the knowledge of real ales to help or advise customers, or even pull the correct pint! Very full lunchtimes, evenings and all weekends, you will struggle to get a table. Long queues at bar at these times. Detracts from the enjoyment of the place considerably.

The Globe, Dunstable

Great selection of superbly kept real ales at this backstreet boozer located conveniently close to the centre of Dunstable. At least 8 real ales on offer, real cider and perry too. Deceptively large once you get inside, only drawback is that it can get a bit cold when there's not many people in there, so take a coat! Eclectic mix of eccentric locals and beer drinking dogs. Regular watering hole of local CAMRA organisers, well worth a visit.
