I used to love the White Hart - mainly because it stayed open when all the others were shut. However, a couple of weeks ago I left my jacket behind. When I went back to fetch it the staff were just leaving. I asked if s'one had left a jacket (describing it) they said yes. I asked if they'd mind getting it. They said, YES!. I was stunned. Then the guy slammed the door and posted the keys through the letter box saying:'Too late now'. As far as I'm concerned, it's one to boycott from now on - I'm going along with Charlotte (below) on this one.

I have to say, I'm pretty stunned by the bad reviews for the Plough. Having been threatened with the end of TV, they now have two plasma screens & though they could be a bit higher make for a jolly atmosphere - I was there for every World Cup Match and will be there (as always) to see the Premiership. The staff are lovely: Vanessa the manager is very approachable and does her best (especially with all the security guard regulars that work in the British Museum up the road). It's not smoky - if anything, given the air conditioning system, it's not smoky enough!; the seats are comfortable (what were you people thinking of?) and the beers are the same as everywhere else (bar Sam Smith which I love). It's my local and I love it so boo to the rest of you... go to the Tavern up the road if you're so miserable. We love our Plough and the staff!!, x

The plough is my favourite pub for watching the footie in the winter; not great screens (just Tvs hoisted above a mantle)but lovely atmosphere; not macho, friendly and premiere-league serious. Sadly, however, rumour has it from reliable sources (bar staff/manager) that the owners -(brewery? management company?) - are planning to remove the TVs to save costs. As the "owners" also manage the Museum Tavern across the street (which doesn't have a TV), can we have a campaign to stop this please? Let us watch premiere football (and other sport!)

I love the Lamb but the evening crowd can be a bit 'men in suits'. Great to go by yourself in the day as a single woman; avoid by night, unless someone on this site wants to invite me!

The Bricklayers Arms, Fitzrovia
Very cozy but very busy during the academic year. Once all the students have buggered off, however, it's just perfect and one can enjoy a pint of Wheatie with mates upstairs in peace. Sitting on comfy sofas, it always feels a bit like being in someone's living room. A chill out Sam Smith pub, x
Wish it'd had a tv for the world cup though (against Sam Smith's policy, apparantly)
