West Lodge Park Terrace Bar
Luxury has never been so out of the way or so drunkard as the night I recall drinking at this bar. Here’s the scoop, my mum had got married for the second time and the after party was here. needless to say doing shots of sambuca with your girlfriend on [...]

Walkabout
A cold multi-coloured hallway awaits you. With drinks costing a good 50p more a pint than anywhere else close by frowned upon by indie music and poor quality disco lighting. Splashed around the club you find an array of flat screens but they are not broadcasting anything and the place is rammed with students. [...]

The Old Red Lion
The old red lion stands majestic among pubs similar in type on the breast of high holborn. This classic local has a bar surrounded by standing floor space. Very few chairs and a bar upstairs as well, the variety available is limited but the atmosphere is friendly and with such a central [...]

Number Fifteen (No 15 Wine Bar Ltd)
In a drunken swagger we make our way around the streets of Chester and into this interesting looking wine bar neighbouring the close by Vodka Revolution and Wetherspoons. The place was bathed in an orangey glow from a scattering of low wattage halogen bulbs and with a few tables [...]

The Talbot
Ploughing the small belgravia streets the last thing you expect to find it a large and lively pub. Okay this place isn’t enormous but it sports a far better bar than the others around the area. There is a good selection at the bar, the bar woman that served me was fast and efficient. [...]

The Albert
A pub that fancies itself as a grand establishment towered over by the urban scurry that is Victoria high street. Inside it can be found to be a clash of restaurant tables before a space followed by a small front bar which curves round to a sort of cafeteria style counter followed by more [...]

Aunt Annie’s Porter House
Down the Camden road away from Kentish town station you find yourself and there you see Aunt Annie’s. A cool sounding name but it looks like a rustic badly painted yellow buildinglaid clumsily at the side of the road. Within- a homely enclosed and dominantly male Irish run pub. There is no [...]

Masque Bar
A rather happening ‘Bassy’ small club next to Kings Cross station masquerades by day as perhaps a derelict shop and at night falls victim to pumping chill-out and slow dance beats. You enter to the corner of a rounded bar with leather couches dotted about. The DJ sits in a booth opposite the bar [...]
