The Eight Bells, Putney Bridge

I love this place - as one over poster says, it is the most unpretentious pub in Putney. It's ideal to pop in to on the way home from a hard day's work, or to spend an afternoon watching the football (would avoid if Fulham are playing at home though). It's welcoming, full of characters and not too expensive. It's just a nice 'proper' pub in a suburb full of soulless winebars...

The Arab Boy, Putney

The last few years has seen Putney�s numerous quality pubs stripped down and reimaged as trendy city pubs, which is a real shame in my opinion. This is one of the few places I can find that still shows football, which is only one of a few good reasons to go here � it has nice beer, fine bar staff and a pretty relaxed atmosphere. It too was recently renovated, but did manage to retain most of its charm � although I lament the loss of the quiz machine�

The Green Man, Putney Heath

People living up near the Heath basically have two choices of local � the Green Man and the Telegraph. I would say they are pretty close in quality, but the Green Man shades it for me � better value, better staff and better food. The garden is really nice during the summer, although it doesn�t get a great deal of sunlight. It is indeed a cosy little pub, and I�ve had several really nice days/evenings down there.
