The Duke of Cambridge, Battersea

This pub was taken over in late May by a new landlord, and all new staff. Much better than before! They have had some problems in the kitchen, but have now gotten rid of the chef. The new one is much better!! It is a bit pricey (like most Youngs pubs), but worth a visit, it's got that Casablanca look to it, if you put some fans on the ceiling that is...

The Coopers Arms, Chelsea

A real nice laid-back gastropub. No music and no loud annoying telly sounds showing sports, so you can enjoy chatting to your friends...or the locals if you fancy! Friendly attentive bar staff.

Food and beer is really nice. Also it is possible to book tables for lunch or dinner, except Sundays. (They only do lunch on Sundays and it does get busy).

Would recommend strongly (if you're looking to have a meal and relax rather than party hard)!

The Turf Tavern, Oxford

This could be a "hidden gem", however it is in the guidebooks...thats how we found it! Service was good, however they closed off a part of the bar leaving a small que at the other side for the rest of the night... One of the most interesting pubs I have ever been to though! I will definitely go back there next time I'm in Oxford!
