The George, London Bridge

Nice looking place that gets overcrowded and the barstaff can't cope or prioritise who to serve next.

Also the most expensive pub I've ever been to. I ordered a pint of Peroni and half of Guinness (for the lady!) and the barmaid said "Six pounds something" I said "Sorry it was half of Guinness" and she said "I know, Peroni is �4.20 a pint". Speechless.

The Pembury Tavern, Hackney

Rather an odd pub. For starters it looks shut from the outside, and when you get inside it's the wrong shape, which sounds ridiculous until you see it for yourself. There's more atmosphere in a library, the ceiling's too high and did I mention it's the wrong shape? They have a large selection of unusual beers which is fine unless you like lager, of which there is one. Rather an odd pub.

The Biddle Bros, Lower Clapton

Mediocre little bar, a bit pretentious and a bit seedy, but not in a good way.
