    CUK summer drinks - location.

    Ok, place your votes...

    Anchor, Southwark
    Central, Riverside, likely to be busy.

    The Banker, Cannon Street
    Ditto, as above.

    Bell & Crown, Kew
    SW, District line, cosy, great beer and food.

    Bull's Head, Gunnersbury
    Within walking distance of Bell & Crown above, nice location, 'villagey'.

    Dirty Dick's, Liverpool Street
    Central, grimy, gritty, authentic London boozer - likely to be busy.

    Dove, Hammersmith
    IMO this is one of the best pubs in London. Centralish/West, riverside, brilliant.

    Market Porter, Borough
    Central, Famously good beer and food, likely to be v v busy though.

    Marquess Tavern, Islington
    Good little boozer, central/North, area gives us plenty of options.

    The Ship, Fulham Broadway
    Country-style pub, SW, Fulham is a good area for a pub crawl.

    White Swan, Richmond
    The ultimate in destinations! Shedloads to do in Richmond, ideal riverside location for summer drinks. I'm not trying to swing the vote in favour of this destination at all, honest.

      Apologies, patience never was a strong suit.

                For those of us not in the big smoke ones that are close to the tube would be great.

                  What is the infatuation with going so far out of central London?

                  Anybody would think people are just angling for the place closest to their home.....

                    Part of it is finding decent 'summery' pubs away from the traffic and grime of Central London - I admit that the Richmond one is a wildcard influenced by it being near home...
                    However - it is a great place to go out for drinks, and easy to get to by tube and train. Will look at the proximity to stations now.
