The Peasant - Clekenwell


Just down from the bodecea - loads of table outside, and off the beaten track so never looks that busy - and by the looks of this picture looks very nice inside too!

Monkey Chews,, 2 Queen's Crescent, Chalk Farm


Looks quite funky this place, and seems to have some live acts and occasional DJ's - be heading there soon i reckon

The Queens head and artichoke, NW1 4EA


Just a few mins north of great portland street this is a great bar - slightly off the beaten track so no crowds - and what looks like a great tapas menu too!

Hennessys - EC3N 2ET - Aldgate Roof terrace

Aint been up there yet - but looks like on of those rare roof terrace bars. And due to its location, would prob wouldn't get too rammed.

Worth checking i reckon!

A Real Gem - Wiltons - Behind oddbins, off the highway


Real excited about this one. Off there tonight so checked it out this lunch and it looks brilliant.
Reminds of an old french countryside bar, and also has a 'lost' music hall inside!
Can't wait to try it!

Cross Kings - York Way, Kings Cross

Went to this bar about 6 years ago, when it was a testosterone fuelled ozzie kind of bar, I ended up in the dentists chair havin spirits poured down my throat.

Now however, it appears to be a quirky little pub - with a live music basement bar.

Have since been for an afternoon pint, and very nice it was too.

Has to be the wierdest garden in london, on a major road surrounded by cranes - but somehow pulls it off!

The Queens Arms - Albert hall, SW7 5QL


a little gem right by the albert hall - lots of sweaters over shouders and chinos (still!) but a nice spot - and some decent continental fruity beers

The Boot - Euston

Stumbled accross this whilst lost one day - looked interesting from the outside, and i liked the name :-)

haven't been in yet, but its made the list!!

The Constitution - Camden


Found this one on the canal, and decided to head back one day - superb pub, and such a find in camden.

Great inside, and one of the best pub gardens in camden - overlooking the canal and loads of flowers!

The Betsy Trotwood - EC1R 3BL Farringdon

another 'cycle by' pub that i stopped at - turns out they have loads of live music and also 'the lantern society' on the 2nd an 4th thursday each month - which is an open mike folk night and costs £3!

The Green Man - Soho, W1W 5QU


Been here years ago, but apparently its been done out and has tons of lovely ciders and DJ's on - so worth another punt i reckon.

The Harlequin - Saddlers Wells


ok, so i've already tried this one - but it was on my list for ages
Ive never seen this many people outside it though!
Great little pub

Calthorpe Arms - Greys inn road



This one always looks welcoming when I take this route home - aint stopped here yet, but sure to happen soon.

The Harrison - Sunday Jazz -Kings Cross



Got a feeling i may have been here before, but not on a sunday - where i hear they have regular jazz session.

The Albion - Islington N1


Cycled past this a while ago - looked great, and top food apparently. Well hidden away.
N1 1HW

The old mitre - Holburn

Hidden away down a little back street apparently. Looks nice.

Truckles - Bloomsbury Square



Just off bloomsbury square - in a little courtyard - not sure on the bar, but the setting is lovely!
