I seem to have over-used the better beer areas in concentric rings ever further afield from London, incl Chelmsford, Reading, Brighton, Snorbans etc. Anyone have a suggestion (behave!) for, say, a 5 (4+) pubber within striking distance of the capital?

I thought about a return to the Harlow-Sawbridgworth-Allen's Green route, as it's the 3rd Sat of the month for minifest at Queens Head, if they still do that, but I couldn't get so lucky with buses a 2nd time! I wouldn't mind Carshalton's Hope, but there's not a great deal to go with it... Colchester was disappointing last visit.

Thanks! tm
