The Toucan, Soho

The Guinness is good but it's all a bit smug for what it is.

The Coach and Horses, Soho

Sad to say it's gone right downhill. There was a time when you it was a REAL Soho pub full of the usual Soho flotsam. I went there a while ago on a saturday lunchtime and it was a morgue. No carpet and a hole in the floor that gave a view of the cellar. It needs to be run by people who understand pubs, but no-one in breweries do anymore. Drink was average. The fixtures and fittings are still great: but it needs saving. It is a ghost ship at present.

The Jolly Farmers, Purley

It was all ripped out and mucked about with about ten years ago and never recovered as far as I am concerned. It is now expensive and has an abandoned out-of-hours-music-venue feel. It could be a gem but will need work.
