Dacre Arms in Lee (SE13) nice local pub, well kept real ale, pleasant atmosphere and a garden, everything you could ask from a pub, shame I hardly ever have time to get there.

The Victoria, Pages Walk Bermondsey..

Work about about three-quarters of a mile from this pub, but have never popped in, finally went with the boss on a Friday lunchtime and what a great find. Totally old school from the decor, to the old fashioned "ker-ching" till, to the ciggie machine with the slide out draws, to the very attractive bar maid who gives you a lovely smile with your change. Beer good and food simple and cheap, locals friendly and matey..
If you are in Bermondsey and you can find it then come for a pint you will not be disappointed.

The Wenlock's a good un and the nearest thing I have to a local. Relaxed and dog-friendly, black pudding and pickle buttys, music, aspall's cider, no real closing time. All good

Thanks

You could try the Boisdale on Eccleston St.

It's a little bit posh and not too cheap but there's a little pub bar at the back. If you like slightly eccentric places it's quite entertaining.

At the risk of soundifn repetitive, how about the foundry?

 

[DeadManWalking]

Thanks but it does look a little posh for me!

This is the bit I was recommending, the back bar:

Does look ok actually, although it looks like you may have to book etc and quite geared for food, only want somewhere for a few beers.

 

[durruti02]

is that a different one to Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese?

the ye old cheshire cheese off fleet street is an amazing pub/restuarant, on 6 or 7 levels .. old old old, designed for people of my height! seemingly not done up in decades even centuries! drank their for first time last night and i feel embaressed having missed it all these years! no londoner should not frequent it!

*bump*

I've just trawled through this thread for a pub for tonight.

At the moment I've whittled it down to:

The Harp

Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese

The Royal Oak

De Hems

 

[krtek a houby]

The Uxbridge Arms in Notting Hill

Nag's Head in Belgravia

 

[Roadkill]

A little far out, this one, but my favourite London pub atm is the Plume of Feathers in Greenwich.

It's very central - a few minutes' walk from the DLR station - but also quite secluded, tucked away up a side street opposite the east gate of the National Maritime Museum, so the tourists don't find it and it's not usually too busy. It's not ruinously expensive, the beer's always good, it's got a superb beer garden and it does the best Sunday lunch I've had in any pub recently.

The other pub in the area I really like is the Richard I, on Royal Hill.

Again, it's usually reasonably quiet, it does a superb pint and it's just generally a nice pub to be in.

Question Re: The Harp in Covent Garden

For those who are regulars of The Harp - how easy would it be to get a seat for about four people around 6.30ish on a Friday (i.e. tonight)?

 

[krtek a houby]

If you're ever in Hammersmith...

... avoid!

 

[MrSki]

That's a God's waiting room pub.

 

[krtek a houby]

That's a God's waiting room pub.

LOL, it is ... but it also manages to pull a crowd of 20's/30's etc...

You get searched going in on a Friday night

It's a guilty pleasure of mine... I made a really good mate there, so it's not all bad, I guess
