The Boathouse, Putney

Ah, ya just gotta love the view in this place - the riverside is nice too but i'm talking about the talent! both at & behind the bar, I thought i'd gone to heaven.
Great buzzing atmosphere on the weekends - nice and chilled during the day, I hear the foods great too.
met the landlord here too, great craic, still got time for you even if hes running around. A great allround pub thats easy on the eyes.

The Prince Alfred, Maida Vale

I use to pop in here after work back when it was a "real" pub ie. smelly, dirty, old men and young kids playing pool in the back.
Now work brings me back round to maida vale, I love the change, - at last its been given the acknowledgement it deserves. One of the last old gin bars around still intact.
Someone has put some love into the old girl. Really like the way they opened the ceiling in the old pool hall to show the skylight and turned it into a modern dining room, just what maida vale needs, good food not to pricy and not to poncey.
Love the fact that the bar is now a twenties bar with funky music and some of the staff even funkier!- mad, all having fun. great atmosphere.
