- Chester Arms
(Regent's Park, London)
... Friendly, laid-back and a little hidden away. A rarity in zone 1.
- The Crown
(Islington, London)
... Comfortably bridging gastro and pub.
- The Greenwich Union (Greenwich, London)
... If "Maritime Greenwich" is proving too much for you, step this way...
- Sekforde Arms (Clerkenwell, London)
... One of London's great back street boozers. Fingers crossed it stays that way.
- Harlequin (Clerkenwell, London)
... Come here at the interval and you might not make it back to Sadler's Wells for the second half.
- The Selkirk (Tooting, London)
... A new boozer off to a flying start in SW17.
- Marquess Tavern (Highbury, London)
... The back room may now be a pricey dining experience, but the rest of it is still very much a pub.
- Gordon's Wine Bar (Strand, London)
... Yes, we know you can't get a pint in here but the atmosphere more than makes up for it.
- King's Head (Islington, London)
... Proving pub + theatre can add up to something worth your while - not mention the live music...
- Magdala (Hampstead, London)
... Even without the bullet holes, still worthy of your attention .
