The Royal George Pub

Jerusalam Tavern

Rumours spread quickly through a city as diverse as London and when one knows that the Jerusalam is as soon as everyone said it was, that was when I went.

The Red Lion and Sun

No longer the smokey dungeon of its dubious past, but a gastro-pub restored to some level of glory - a proud feel about the place with well dressed clientele in a mess of twenty-somethings and OAPs. The barmen are a huddle of gents in their thirties serving the growing crowd with some haste [...]
