No sign of life - probably not surprising in the current climate.

This pub offers the sort of old world experience one would expect in this neck of the woods and the Scarsdale Arms is a cut above most of the nearby pubs. The darkened interior evokes a genuine atmosphere, as does the...
Well, it's smaller inside than we both expected and remember - it's not much bigger than a sitting room. Decorated around the several TVs with black and white photos ranging from Chaplin, to Marilyn, to Jimi, to the Beatles and...
Situated on prime pub territory opposite Olympia Exhibition Hall, it's safe to say this place will never be short of customers when there's a trade fair or conference on across the road. Owned by <a...
A small Young's pub with an even smaller beer garden, this one has all the attributes of your archetypal friendly community pub, complete with long-suffering locals and has so far escaped the upgrade machine. The beer's all...
With choice memorabilia throughout the pub, including a <a href="http://www.chadburntelegraphs.com/" target="_blank">brass ships's telegraph</a> (which tells the engine room to stop or go), this...
This pub, dwarfed by its near neighbours - the imposing <a href="http://www.sciencemuseum.org.uk/about_us/about_the_museum/other_sites/blythe_house.aspx" target="_blank">Blythe House</a> and the...
We came past here at lunchtime today and found it to be boarded up. We'll keep an eye on it if there's any developments (bad or good!).
Sister pub to the Atlas (which is beside Earl's Court), the Cumberland Arms offers one of your best bets for a drink near to Olympia. Like its sibling, the Cumberland is a sensitive gastro conversion - an oxymoron to some, but...
No longer a sports bar, this has become a "high-end champagne" bar. Probably not one for us, unless you can get pints of fizz...
A light and airy bar made out of an old pub and serving modern British food. We haven't made it back here yet, but first impressions are positive
The Havelock was one of the earliest gastropub conversions and aside from closing after fire damage in 2005, this one hasn't really altered much in the decade or so since opening. It sticks by the original gastropub rule of...
Any place that has a pie of the week is brilliant, in our book. Having changed hands not too long ago, we were worried the pub may have taken a turn for the worst - we were wrong. It's a good pub, with a fairly traditional...
Feeling distinctly local and pretty empty when we were in last, the Fox & Hounds had a refurbishment a while back which still shows. Attached to a nearby council block in this otherwise Victorian area, it seems to have...
Under new management, this pub is lovely. Massively popular with the locals and young workers, we found it perfect for our food and chilling out needs. The Bird in Hand is modern in décor and played all the latest tunes...
We've not been back to this one for quite a while - it's a little off the beaten track and, to be honest, we forget it's there sometimes. The clientele obviously don't as they'd happily filled up the garden on a warm and sunny...
The Castle's settled in nicely, becoming that slightly bohemian local so many long for, and so few actually get for their troubles. Saying it's got an eccentric interior's a bit like saying the Royal Albert Hall's a bit big....
Lost in the suburban no-mans land between Shepherd's Bush and Hammersmith, we stumbled across this reputable establishment. It's a small place, with a separate dining area next door, but there's a homely feel about the place,...

If we had a kind of pub that was described as 'Traditional English Pub', this would probably do as a good representation. The exterior's Victorian and inside it's split into a few different hard and soft furnished areas with...
No longer solely the province of Antipodeans - where have they all gone? - the Teck's doing its damnedest to be a decent sports bar on the ground floor, with the upstairs providing lounge-bar escape from the sporty hordes. Even...
Can't find a pub showing the match? Don't give up and go home until you've tried here. With about 15 different screens and feeds from sports channels across the globe it's a pretty fair bet they'll be showing your game of...

The recent (April/May 2013) refurbishment has left the front part of the bar area relatively unscathed, but the rear has been opened out somewhat and converted into an eating area. The wide range of real ales (ten on our...
A welcome refuge in the quiet back streets two minutes from Kensington High Street, the Elephant and Castle's multi-award winning flower-festooned facade almost hides this small and homely pub. Though taken over by Nicholson's,...
Definitely a locals pub, this (slightly grotty) corner pub is still friendly enough. The public bar was lively, with a high percentage of OAPs last time we were in. It does a reasonable pint of Guinness, but that's about it....

This Prince of Wales's refit a few years ago was not much of a surprise to us, nor was the style of refurb: a M&B makeover, with seventies light fittings, airy colour scheme and mishmash of 60's, 70's and 80's furniture - a...
The Mitre went gastro a good while ago - following a familiar pattern and becoming a typically "more food, less ale" sort of place and, subsequently, it appeared to have been suffering a bit of a decline. We'd...
Though maybe not the first pub in London to have its own Thai restaurant, Latymers is certainly one of the best, both for quality, service and value for money. The pub itself is late 80s modern and a bit too shiny for our...
