Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese, Fleet Street

Amazing building for the pub, steeped in history with a load of different areas with a snug little cellar to drink in.
Atmosphere can be hit and miss friday night was too suity (despite some obvious attempts at dress down friday) but at quiter times have found it lovely and intimate.
Sam Smiths beer is great and dirt cheap as well. I love the new 'pure brewed lager' if you want your usual brands then bugger of to a slug and lettuce and leave the rest of us in peace!

The Captain Kidd, Wapping

On paper sounds like 'ye olde theme pub' but in the flesh Sam Smiths have pulled off another cracker.
The wood beams and rickety appearence is all genuine and work your way through to the back of the pub to something thats surprisingly rare in london, a view of the thames.
As with all the Sam Smiths the beers are excellent value. If you miss your pint of Stella or your bacardi breezer then leave and never come back as we dont want your kind anyway!
Ace Pub for people who appreciate atmosphere and beer

The Blue Posts, Fitzrovia

A Sam Smiths Pub wich automatically marks it 7/10 for me but it does not have the same individual charms of the 4 other SS pubs in the area (Fitzroy, champion, bricklayers, angel)
That said there is nothing wrong with this pub with some sumptious original features and of course MR Smiths own brand beers (loving the new 'pure brewed lager')
Absolutely fine for a quieter post-work drink with non bank breaking prices.
