No 5 is spot on.
5. Thou shalt not believe the hype
You know that new pub everyone’s raving about because they serve apricot pale ale in teapots? Don’t go there. Most pubs that are surrounded by hype will soon be full of knobs. Twas ever thus and ever thus will be. A good London pub is a good London pub. London pubs serving crab-and-Weetabix burgers, meanwhile, are merely novelties. All you need is booze, some crisps and that rancid wee smell we’ve all had to live with since the smoking ban.
