Housed in the wonderfully restored St Pancras Station, the Betjeman Arms has proven to be a station pub with a difference. As we've come to expect of Geronimo offerings, this one's equally well-run and pleasant - particularly...
Located on the ground floor of perennial tourist favourite the Royal National Hotel, London Pub is quite possibly the most soulless experience you can have with a pint in your hand. London Pub (note, no definite article), has...
Formerly the uninspiring Pint Pot, in a concerted effort to distinguish itself in the Paint Wars affecting the pubs in the area, it's now a sports bar with the attendant tellies spread around the place and the lack of any real...
The Hope & Anchor sports a splendid tiled exterior, which is probably the most architecturaly interesting feature of the pub. The interior's nothing spectacular, with stripped wood floors and a large central bar on two...
The streets just south of the Euston Road are home to a number of solid, straightforward pubs, a fair example of which is the Skinners Arms. With its plush carpet, striped wallpaper and a surprisingly high ceiling, here's a...
Upon entering this establishment you can't fail to notice the cured hams, dried peppers and garlic bulbs hanging in the windows and behind the bar. It's a hint that if you're looking for a traditional British pub experience you...
This is a pub that hasn't had any makeovers (it still displays a Watney, Combe & Reid sign outside, for example) and features separate saloon and public bars, subtly decorated with Emerald Isle touches by the Irish...
Sadly, one of London's quaintest, cosiest, and indeed, most unique, pubs was "redone" a while back. And the result? The Smugglers is quite literally a shell of its former self. The charm, and indeed the heart, was...
Midway between Camden and Euston, in its way this is as good a pub as any in these areas. It's a smart redevelopment of an old pub, but in this instance it's been done with care and a bit of style. The interior gives off the...
While the pub had an update not that long ago, it still retains a fair bit of the Victorian grandeur we remember this pub for. The beer's good with fairly standard ales and a guest on the hand pumps. It continues in its role as...
For a long time the Carpenters Arms was one of the many unremarkable pubs dotted around the Tottenham Court Road area. A decent enough pub, but not one to set the pulses racing. Cue a makeover into one of M&B's unbranded...
One of the numerous Irish pubs hiding away in the less than salubrious back streets of King's Cross, The Boot is worth a visit just to marvel at the various items they've decided to nail to the bar - a pair of skis anyone? As...
Easily to dismiss as rough, or be ignored in the throng of the busy Camden High Street, the Cobden Arms is actually one of the more pleasant local's pubs in the area. Ultimately an Irish pub, without shouting it like the Tommy...
Another one of those large pubs on the fringes of things that doesn't quite know what to do with itself. It's changed hands again, in the recent past, but the change of paint outside hasn't led to much radical change inside....
Once upon a time as the Adams Arms, this pub played an important role in the growth of Creation Records. Nearly 30 years on, this The Lukin's settling in nicely after its recent(ish) change from being a standard O'Neill's pub....
After a hard day's slaying of mythical beasts there can't be any better way to relax than with a nice pint and The George & Dragon, within a stone's throw of Great Portland Street and Warren Street, is certainly a good spot...
Now that the Brunswick Shopping Centre has been relaunched as a centre for high-gloss retail, it's no surprise that this nearby pub - part of the cheap-as-chips world of the Goose chain - has had a makeover too. It's now one of...
