The Waterfront
This bar is accessible from the street and from the edge of the river. Its back garden overlooks the banks and in a flood of chrome lights up this whole area. One of the most wonderful of beer gardens for the summer. When entering from the front you come up some side stairs into [...]

The Edinboro Castle

The Oxford Arms
This pub, set onto one of the busiest high streets in London stands out the most among all other pubs. The late night entry means entering on a Saturday night at midnight means fast service at the bar and clean porcelain in the toilets. Crazy expectations I know but its there! OK there [...]
