Yet another list

[Mobyduck]

Yes. It's not an early doors pub and the couple who've run the place since around 1975 aren't that welcoming to strangers, but it's certainly worth a look before they go to that great beer garden in the sky and the place gets the bare brick/exposed ductwork/filament bulbs and wasabi peas treatment.

It also makes for a good crawl with:

The Coborn
The Morgan Arms
Green Goose
The Lord Tredegar
The Camel (a particular favourite with Gus Voltman)
The Approach Tavern

I am missing The Green Goose and Approach Tavern from my back history so reason enough for a trip in the new year.

I would certainly be up for joining you on this as I thoroughly enjoyed myself when I visited most of these last Christmas, mainly inspired by Tris' review of The Albert (strangely not included in his list) to see if it was as bad as he would have us believe.

Oh it was bad; my review was a little diplomatic, me not mentioning the skinheads in Fred Perrys. But this was a Friday?/Saturday? at gone 9.00pm not on a Tuesday (a non-drinking day) and at lunchtime; Young Prince over the road is much more demonstrative of a decent, traditional locals' pubs.

Sounds like the beginnings of a plan.

I would be interested in joining in,I'm regularly in the area but have not been to quite a few of the pubs mentioned.

A seemingly decent list in the main, London's Best Pubs 37/50 for me.

38/50. Agree that it's a decent list. Skehan's still showing as popular on these lists. The Harwood Arms which usually seems to make it in, is nowhere to be seen, although I believe Tris has previously described it as a gastropub, unwelcoming to solo drinkers. Twickenham's White Swan is another (unvisited by me) perennial fav, plus a couple of Greenwich ones; an area of London I'm yet to explore.

Greenwich ones; an area of London I'm yet to explore.

Greenwich is a very mixed bag, but has some recent reviews. If you visit the Angerstein, it's best appreciated late on a Fri/Sat night.

If using the Cutty Sark DLR, it's actually worth a short walk out west to do the The Dog & Bell.

The latter a notable omission from the 50, which Matthew Curtis pointed out on Camra's Discourse forum (amongst some others).

Perfect Pubs

Perfect maybe not but of the five I've visited they're pretty good.

Just the Southampton and Pride of Spitalfields. Yup - pretty good.
