Darned cockwombles.
Apologies for getting all parochial on Dissensus' collective ass, but I just realised that we have no thread for celebrating/disseminating knowledge about great pubs (well-known or obscure) in London. Of course, any info about bars/pubs in New York, Paris, Melbourne or anywhere else readily welcomed too...
My initial, incoherent thoughts:
Just went to George and Dragon in Shoreditch for first time this weekend. Assumed I would hate it, but it was friendly and the junk shop decor worked well rather than being a try for 'cool' status.
In Brixton - Effra's still nice, and I quite like the Duke of Edinburgh for the huge magic garden there.
Streatham Hill - Crown and Sceptre is potentially the best Wetherspoons in London (OK, not hard, I know), completely transcending its chain pub status. Friendly, weird but good crowd, cheap booze, nice old building...what more can one ask for?
Will think of more...
