Sun, good number of pumps without a stand out choice for me (hoppy) or RJ (malty). Dark/dingy in the bar area which was showing the England game without volume and the screen virtually invisible behind the tactical hanging lights obliterating it.
Borough, yes, gentlemen's club-ish with an effort on the beer front.
Merchants, is that the one with an arched interior at the rear? A number of pumps but not many active on my visit.
White Cross, had a good range of beers and did a cracking haddock and chips, no complaint there. Not very pubby and some inappropriate furniture, but no problem returning.
Can't remember which the other visited pub was...
