I know Bradley's but it's pushing the definition of Mayfair somewhat.
Recommend a London Pub thread!

Quite a lot.
There seem to be certain pubs that all adopted londoners have to visit at least once. Bradley's is one of them. The French House another, Coach and Horses, and more I can't remember.
RIP The Dive Bar.

Well you've got all those offers of viagra now, it may be time to visit again.
One of them owns it.
Erm...
The 'wander into Belgravia' was responding to the Mayfair query.
The 'I recommend Bradley's' was in response to the thread. Perhaps I should have separated the two things with a line.

Glad to oblige.
Overpriced tosser-infested shithole.
Is it not 'underground' enough for you Tarquin?

Virtually next to Freedom, might be the White Hart not Horse

Yeah, it is. The one with the painted blackboard telling customers how one of Jack the Ripper's victims was found round the back -- tastefully situated next to the ladies' loos.
Right, it is the White Hart. With tables out the front? I go in there from time to time.
And what's 'Freedom'?

Freedom Bookshop, down Angel Alley (next to the KFC).

The plot thickens.
There's a White Hart in Aldgate and also one in Whitechapel across the road from the Blind Beggar. Cesare must mean the Aldgate one. I drink in there too from time to time.

Yep, I meant the one sort of opposite LLoydsTsb near Aldgate East.
It is still Whitechapel road. The other one is arguably in Stepney as it is on Mile End Road but seems more 'Whitechapel' than the Aldgate one.
The one you mentioned is the better out of the two imo.
I like this pub in that area:
The Pride Of Spitalfields.

Just off Brick Lane.

A swift google (which I should have done in the first place) reveals that it's 89 Whitechapel High Street. I think of Whitechapel as starting at Aldgate East and finishing at the traffic lights after the Royal London
I like the Pride of Spitalfields as well. There's quite a few nice pubs around there, real old tiny ones, but I'm useless at remembering the names

You do both realise it's an Old Bill pub don't you?

Hahaha no I didn't
There's a cop shop really close by on Brick Lane and some of them pop in when they clock off.
I think it's the reason why they used to get away with having really late lock ins before the licensing laws changed.

Sitting on the bok of the day
This thread is like Time Out with its north, east & central London bias!
So to right the balance, here are a few south of the river:
The Priory Arms in Stockwell - laid back real ale pub, easy to get a seat but not 'dead'. Friendly bar staff, also does German/Belgian/fruit beers.
The Royal Oak, Tabard Street, Borough - same kind of thing but gets busy.
Dog and Bell, Deptford - yet another laid back local pub, good selection of beers & a good quiz on Sunday nights.

Ah. Easy to spot em though.

South, let's see, used to quite like the Hare and Billet in Blackheath.
I'd almost be tempted to venture south of the river to visit:
The Mayflower.

This is south of the river (just) and is probably my favourite pub in London: -

Rose & Crown, Columbo St.

That name always invoked memories of a woman, piano and really bad poetry/singing...
Wormlady (all her poems are only about worms)? There is a bit of graffiti on the the stairs going to the lower gallery space saying 'dear wormlady why do you conistantly ignore the new zealand flatworm'

Oh and Rose in Borough. Lovely pub, proper dingy level of light in there, most flattering to anyone (like me) who is the wrong side of 30
