Favorite London Pub?

[DemoTex]

Mine is "The Grape," in Mayfair (one block behind Half Moon Street).

1. Any pub that sells John Courage

8. JC (sign of the cock) is good for a pub crawl, imho.

2. "The White Horse"

on Turnpike Lane. Actually its the ONLY London pub I've been to. I'm sort of partial to the Anglesey Arms in Halnaker, W. Sussex.

3. I also like "Ye Olde Cock" on Fleet Street

Matters not. Way too many to go around. That's why they call it the "pub crawl." Been there, done that!

4. We were there a couple of years ago

We liked "The Bunch of Grapes" near Harrod's. They had a really nice little room up the stairs, no smoking. Nice way to enjoy tasty but bad for you pub grub.

7. The Swan on Bayswater Road.

Also the King's Head and Eight Bells on Cheyne Walk in Chelsea.

9. The Lamb

.. on Lamb's Conduit Street, Holborn, near the Inns of Court. Has the original Victorian "snob screens" and an excellent pint of Young's bitter.

11. Black Friar is my sentimental favorite.

It's good for Bass and people-watching. I found it difficult to find a bad pub, actually. One of my favorites was a Guinness house on Euston Road near the Great Portland St Underground station.

16. "difficult to find a bad pub"?

Now maybe I'm just a complete beer snob but I have yet to find a really good real ale pub in London. Too many of the London pubs I've been in either don't have a good range or just don't keep their beer well enough.

Outside of the Great British Beer Festival at Olympia I guess I prefer to keep to the places I know outside of the capital.

12. The Maple Leaf, The Good Mixer, The Hope and Anchor

The Half Moon in Putney.

All the cliches, here.

13. Duke of Clarence

Next door to the Kensington Hilton.
It was many years ago, but they had great pub food and a congenial bunch of patrons. There was an open courtyard in back where we grilled steaks in good weather.
