Quite a nice pub as it goes, made a visit a couple of weeks ago and had a couple of decent pints of Pride, not too expensive at �2.90 a go and a nice relaxing atmosphere at the front, with screens and a pool table at the back.

It's a spoons, what more do you want other than a huge amount of space and cheap beer? Does what it says on the tin, although I'm sure they use free wifi as a ruse to get people in, as it never works.
Beers were ok, staff were ok, you know what you're getting with this place before you even walk through the door.

The George Inn, Walton on Thames
This typifies the pubs available in Walton, below average and nothing to make you want to go back.

The Bear Hotel, Walton on Thames
Awful pub, can't really add anything else to the mix.

Nice pub which is what you expect from Youngs these days, the staff were fairly friendly and the Special was very well kept. Not the best character you'll ever get from a pub, but a nice outside bit which is good for the summer.

The Old Manor Inn, Walton on Thames
A nice little tucked away boozer with a bit of a dirty feel inside, but don't let that or the grainy Sky Sports picture put you off. A nice pint of Youngs Special and friendly staff and locals, this is an ideal hideaway if you just want to forget about the world and have a good drink.

The Bear and Staff, Leicester Square
Never had a problem with this pub, the beer always seems well kept, especially the Pride, and the staff are friendly.

The Essex Serpent, Covent Garden
Not a bad little pub, a bit bleak and lacking character inside but the Adnams Bitter I had wasn't too bad at all. Never been busy when I've been in there, an ideal place to be alone with your thoughts while enjoying a good drink. Only downside was the lack of ale selection.

The Green Man and French Horn, Covent Garden
If you're a real ale drinker you may well be disappointed as Adnams is the only brew of choice available here. Friendly bar staff though in what I can only describe as an average pub.

The Round Table, Leicester Square
Nice little tidy boozer tucked away along a side street, and a nice pint of Pride to boot. Fairly quiet during lunchtime which suits me down to the ground. The Czech barman wasn't the friendliest but he did look completely bored to be honest. If you want a quiet pint away from the crowds then this is the place for you.

The Salisbury, Leicester Square
Fantastic little pub, a great pint of Youngs Special on offer here and also a nice range of guest ales, including a very well kept pint of Landlord earlier this week. Can get busy which results in a lack of seating, but the barmaids low cut top certainly makes up for the fact you might have to prop the bar up.

The Brewmaster, Leicester Square
Not a bad little pub for a swift one as you get out of the tube station, a nice pint of Speckled Hen on tap and an upstairs seating area if required. Staff were fairly friendly and the food looked alright, although I didn't try any, but the beer was well kept and I was pleasantly surprised.

Great little boozer, especially in the summer when you can take your beer out onto the green. A nice pint of Pride and a great pint of winter warmer as well.

The Old House At Home, Hersham
This pub would be so much better if they put some effort into it and sold some decent beer. All they had for the non lager drinkers was John Smiths, which didn't taste at all great.

Ashley Park Hotel, Walton on Thames
Nice boozer with nice beer, especially the Pride. Quiz night on Sunday gets really busy and Friday nights tend to get fairly busy as well. Otherwise it's quiet and a nice place to go and read the paper or just have a pint alone with your thoughts of an afternoon.

Worst boozer I've ever been to, used to be a great night out but since I stopped going there it's gone right downhill.

Very expensive but a lovely little boozer, still a real old look to it and a fantastic pint of Youngs Special on offer. My favourite pub in London.

The Porcupine, Leicester Square
Great little pub as soon as you come out of LS tube station, fantastic pint of Pride on offer and well worth spending an hour or so of your afternoon.

Better inside than it looks on the outside, a decent pint of ale and a tidy little barmaid when I went in there. Sky Sports and a pool table, empty during the day but can't comment on the evening, well worth a visit though.

Not a bad little boozer, ok beer, a few strange looks as I walked in but otherwise a nice pub.

What an awful pub. I went in once and was insulted straight away by the haggard looking barmaid just because I took a couple of moments to dare survey what they had on offer. Full of odd looking people obviously not allowed in the other pubs around the area, you couldn't get any more wrong'uns in one pub if you tried.

Nice dark, traditional little boozer, the Pride tasted a bit off last time I was in there but it's never been a problem before. Always my pub of choice for a lunchtime jar if the mood takes me, very approachable looking from the outside, nice and cosy on the inside.

A nice drinking establishment if you want to get depressed about life amongst lifes losers. IPA at 99p is the only thing going for this pub, I was there last month at about 11am and was greeted by two men abusing a lady who had just had a spot of lunch. If telling an elderly lady to f*ck off before midday is your bag, then this is the boozer for you.
Full of weirdo's and nonce cases.

Been in here a couple of times, first time was a Saturday night, second time a Friday lunchtime.
They're apparently assigned the CM, but although the pint of Landlord I had first time round was good, the second time I went the Pride wasn't as great. However, it seemed to be that the glasses smelt a bit soapy, so whether this had anything to do with it I'm not sure.
Bit of a 'tradesman' type pub, builders, plumbers etc, which makes it a 'bit rough'. I like that in a pub but it may not be everyones cup of tea. Competition is poor though so they're always going to do well.
