Tim, the winner of MasterChef 2011 works here behind the bar...but I don't think he was too happy about that! But none the less, a great pub, with amazing selection of ales, and pizza! I recommend it!

Choose from 100 + bottled beers from around the world, although the pub is also renowned for the quality of its draft ales. There are regularly 6-8 cask beers from which to choose.
awesome little boozer off the beaten track and away from the trendies. But trendy in itself. food looked good. Friendly staff. pingpong table and outside drinking :)
Absolutely knockout pub. Scores the highest marks in every category for me. Great beers and several of them, good service, top location. Not tried food but Thai is on the menu.
An impressive interior, great beer on tap and very close to Bank tube. Pop in your way home...you won't regret it!
Includes a range of Spanish beers & wine. The clientele is an odd mix of young local hipsters, older people who have been coming there for 2 decades & tourists who seem to have wandered in by mistake.
v.friendly bar staff - and a novelty in that they'll allow you to bring in your own food. the pizza + chinese takeaways over the road both deliver here for you to enjoy in the pub.
Outstanding food. Fresh fish from Billingsgate market. Excellent choice of vegetarian dishes. Owned by the Meantime Brewery, with a great range of lagers, ales and stouts.
Quality local pub with some real ale, a good vibe, lots of space and surprisingly good Thai food.
Local legend has it that this inn was used by Oliver Cromwell as a headquarters, which he reached by tunnel from his hiding place on nearby Oliver’s Island during the English Civil War.
Art, atmosphere and ping pong, one of the nicest bars in Shoreditch. Watch out for the communal toilets
Strong case for being the oldest pub in London - may well be predominantly the original building dating back to 1602.
One of my fave pubs in london - great music, staff, crowd, drinks and food.
To have a drink with few friends or read a book with a delicatessen plates... Amazing place. Very little, the wall and the bar are made with books... Staff are kind and friendly
if you have not yet made out the trek out to pay a visit, you don’t know what you're missing. The staff dispense some of the best kept beer in the capital from an array of 16 hand pumps. En savoir plus .
Opening shortly after the Great Fire, this ancient pub was regularly visited by Dr Johnson when he was taking a break from writing the first English dictionary, at his home in nearby Gough Square.
Very good wine, very good food, excellent service and beautiful 'secret garden' out the back - perfect.
This pub was built in 1720 on the site of an older tavern. As a boy Charles Dickens, who used to visit his godfather who lived nearby, was made to stand on a table and sing to the patrons.
Amazing selection of micro-brewed ales and lagers from around the world. Well worth going out of your way to pay a visit.
The perfect escape from Westfield. Great place for mopey afternoon drinking, given the prison-cage-like booths and the depressing dukebox (Elbow, Nick Drake, Leonard Cohen all in a row on our last vis
This spots decked out w/ Warhol-esque art, a plasma-screened basement, & science lab-ish serving tables equipped w/ Bunsen burner taps, so even if your date hates you, you'll still have chemistry. En savoir plus .
Love the food and ambiance here, great for weekend lunch or dinner but make sure to book ahead or you'll be disappointed.
This historic pub on the site of a tollgate was once the haunt of highwaymen, who when caught were hanged nearby. The pub appears in Dickens’ Pickwick Papers and in Bram Stoker’s Dracula.
Brilliant pub. Clean, tidy, open fire, friendly staff! Drinking a mug of tea right now! Yum!

Absolutely top-notch perfect. Something like ten real ales on tap, all locally sourced. Old-school record player, outdoor toilets and an ancient chap playing the piano (very well). Highly recommended.
Possibly the best live music venue in London. It's tiny, but gets bands just on the verge of breaking. Get there at about 8, drink bottled beer, and sit upstairs.
Real ale from the cask plus home made meat pies. CAMRA members get a substantial discount.
Wide range of real ale, perry, stout, and Belgium beers. Also do a fair selection of wine, and excellent food. Totally different from the old jolly butchers
This is a really lovely pub. I've worked round here for 4 years and there are so many tourist traps in covent garden. But this is a fab quirky place!
The best pub in Tooting, and one of the best in South London. Meantime wheatbeer is my preference. Steak is good, if a bit charcoaly. I don't like ketchup, but their home-made ketchup is brilliant.
Possibly the best beer garden in London, includes a two floor converted barn with sofas out the back
A bar where you can order drinks (or pull your own from your table), food and pick tunes from the jukebox via ipads built into the tables
On the face of it, a great looking pub- in actual reality, the best value for money Thai food. If you can get a table- have the Pad Thai; it's the (pea)nuts!
One of my favourite pubs in London... avoid if allergic to cats, as there are a few that happily roam throughout the pub. If not, make sure you pop in here for a proper London Ale.
Great place to sit and have a drink while you wait for friends to arrive before going to see something cool in the Queen Elizabeth Hall or South Bank Centre En savoir plus .
Very nice pub to chill out. Room in the back is great for big groups and they also have live music regularly. Sunday lunch/brunch menu is quite nice.
The friendly if occasionally hapless service & the atmosphere mean that the joint is usually packed to the rafters, especially on weekends when it offers free admission before 8:30 PM. Arrive early. En savoir plus .
Nice place that does get a bit crowded with out-of-towners in the weekends, but is a nice place for a drink before heading into town.
All beers available in a 2 pint glass. Less time at the bar more tome talking and socializing. Enjoy
We finally did it. We finally managed to get the prized seats in the raised 'pulpit' area.
A great laid back pub with great tunes and a yummy fish finger sandwich. A pub for people who know what's good.
Plan your route to Paradise carefully! It's such a hidden gem - and a bit of a walk from the tube. Worth it though - sprawling, well-designed and very, very special.
Great bar with circus performances Thu-Sat. Book tickets and reserve a table in advance as it gets rammed. Cash only bar in the circus area. Also, pop out the back; there's an amazing beer garden too
