The George

The start of the monopoly pub crawl sees this pub busy from the first light of day any given Saturday in the calender despite the fact that it seems a drift out of the way of a central location. It’s basically a short bus ride from the station and without one can expect friendly [...]

The Captain’s Cabin

The captain’s cabin, as the name suggests is a well of proud activity. A rather central outpost, busy with middle-aged weekend drinkers but popular enough to cause queuing at the bar but with service fast enough to prevent it being a problem.

The Blue Posts

From the surroundings and the enclosed appearance to this pub you would think you were in a small village at the end of a quiet afternoon rather than in the bustling bosom of London. The blue posts is a little busier than the streets around it though, with an older crowd so its [...]

Boogaloo Bar

A small poky music hall apparently pulling odd bands for secret gigs and a few drinkers. The place is basically divided between this tight indoor affair and a larger, well fashioned garden-style bar area.

Bar SW4

Bar SW4 is now an O Neill’s
An attempt at trying to produce an upmarket lounge bar with hanging plasma screens and tiny chandeliers appears to have gone wrong. The punters it brings are scruffy types, looking for a night on the pull, heavily on the drink or looking for music so commercial it brings [...]
