Smallman1 1 - Coach and Horses - Soho

Really? Had you down as more of an Admiral Duncan customer…

The Derby (Kennington) - preferred pre-match pint for games at The Oval
The Mitre (Lancaster Gate) - spent countless recovery Sundays in here after Friday and/or Saturday raving.
Mayflower (Rotherhithe) - beautiful old pub overlooking the river

Smallman1 Coach and Horses - Soho

Is a decent boozer, and good to pop into after you’ve done some shopping, but the best in London? Is that the best your lot have to offer?

RichM

Smallman1 I do like the Antelope. Been there a few times over the years

An excellent battle cruiser!

All pubs named clearly not the best due to having questionable clientele policies by allowing riff raff like Ed in.

Top boozer, that.

Off the top of my head

The Ten Bells (Spitalfields)
the Counting House (in the city)
De Beauvoir Arms (Dalston area)

Went to the Spurstowe arms recently in Hackney and that was a cracking pub

RichM The Ten Bells (Spitalfields)

Good shout. Been a few times pre Hawksmoor…

RichM isn’t the counting house a spoons? Or at least feels like one. It’s about a minute from my London office and is, I’m afraid, bang average

ScottBailey

Fox & Pheasant (Chelsea) - Normally got Tribute and Landlord on tap, plus dece fishes & chipses @Wasily approved
The Porterhouse (City) - Central, interesting decor, shed-load of beer to choose from
Bradley’s Spanish Bar (Oxford St) - My favourite hidden gem right off the main road. Drink your Estrela out on the tiny one way street when the sun’s out

Yes, but…THE worst place to meet a date/someone who hasn’t been there before.

RichM

Millsy it’s def not a spoons! You thinking of Crosse Keys?

Counting House is a lovely old building which is why it makes my list. Also most my drinking is done in the city so I felt I had to add one from round here.
