    Good pubs in London

    Other than the S&S, maybe possible alternatives for mid-week drinks? All suggestions welcome. A central location is a good idea.

    The Master Gunner, City Road (5 mins from Old Street tube): real ale and excellent food.

    I always think London pubs aren't really much - far finer pubs are to be found elsewhere in the UK. However the following isn't bad:

    Salisbury, Leicester Square, London, WC2N 4AP - pub details # beerintheevening.com

        Decent pub near bank (2 stops from Old st)/monument/liverpool st, not exactly central london but a lot of the regular attendees seem to be city based

        Counting house, good selection of ales, serves food

        And you can reserve an area/table which is always good the the pub is often packed.

          The Ferryboat Inn

          Country pub feel in Tottenham Hale, beer garden, food is ok, next to canal/river and reservoirs.

          Ferryboat Inn

          Recent find after living in the area for a year!!

            Ye Old Cheshire Cheese is a great one, and a very ancient one to boot.

              I think that's a RealityHack favourite haunt

                I think the Euston Tap would be a good location

                The main bar area is small, but up the staircase (and what a staircase!) there's a larger room we could meet. The pub's main selling point is the range of beers, which should appeal to some here.

                  Also in that area is one of the few acceptable Wetherspoon's pubs; the Crosse Keys. Come to think of it - I haven't been in there since, well, before the summer.
                  How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

                    Am becoming a fan of the Swan in Leadenhall.

                    New Moon is also ok.
