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.
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 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.

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