Didn't know we were doing foreign, I'll drop the beehive and stick the Fat Ladies Arms in Wellington straight to the top.

Other notable pubs i used to frequent and like.
Sir Dan,The Locomotive,The Worthy(Worthington)Lamb and Flag and my past Swindon favourite The Rolling Mills.
I got my first proper kicking in the Sir Dan - didn't deserve it either. I went in the Robin for years and nothing, set one foot in the Sir Dan and bang, game over. The Rolling Mills was ace. I remember being on the piss there before catching one of the specials to the Slave Traders - great atmosphere.

I seem to remember the Town End singing its name now and again.

How are you settling in dude?
aside from the fact the flat was close to inhabitable on the day we moved in, we're settling in well. it has driven me to drink though.

the rose revived is decent for food but i wouldn't call it a pub. nice location though

The Waterman's Arms - Richmond.  Unpretentious pub with old decor, but great Young's beers.
I always enjoy the thai food, produced by a thai cook.

Prince's Head - Richmond.  Location,location,location.On the corner of Richmond Green and near
the theatre,perfect place to watch cricket on the green, with the background of Millionaires Row!
Serves Fuller's and guest ales,the inside is full of rugby memorabilia.

Blues Bar - Soho.  Great live music venue.

The Royal Oak - Fritham.  A gem of a New Forest Pub,it has the lot! Great beer (Ringwood) great
food and a beer garden, in a small village location.

The Dispensary - WhiteChapel.  Serves a great array of beers and cider.

4. Silver sands - Koh samet Thailand, late night sordid den of sex drugs and shit music on paradise island, laugh at the ladyboys noshing off pissed up blokes from bradford whilst wiggling their hips to jamelia


Word.

Silver sands is a great giggle if you can avoid getting into scraps with the bull queens.

Owned by the same chappie who owns Tok's little hut, as coincidence would have it. Bet you can't guess his name.

My favourite pub in London is The Harp, Covent Garden. You can tell by the clientele that they consider it a gem amidst a sea of pretentious trendy bars. Hope it retains it's atmosphere. Always the same friendly lady behind the bar, particularly clued up about her Real Ales, of which they have plenty. Bar surrounded by a myriad of beer mats of all the nationwide ales they have served up. The best bit though is upstairs, totally a contrast to the ground floor: it is like walking into some aristocrats drawing room! Had it all to myself for the first pint I enjoyed the day of the play-off final.

Massive thumbs up if you are within 2 mins of Charing Cross any time soon.

Oooo, I forgot the green park tavern. Good pub that, though a bit pricey for poor little me.

Is it considered wrong to go to a pub on your own?

Is that the one in Bath?

If so that used to be our Cricket teams pub many moons ago.

I always used to like the Crossed guns at Avoncliffe  (mmmmm Tanglefoot)

It's on lower bristol road, which I think is the one you're on about. Nice pub and good, if expensive, beer. Friendly locals too, which is quite different to most of the pubs in my area
