The Duchess of Cambridge, Stamford Brook
Sadly it looks as if the Duchess has served her last pint. Currently 'Closed until further notice'

The Skinners Arms, Kings Cross
Unremarkable pub but nethertheless usually a good choice of ales and reasonable food One of the better pubs in the area

Pleasant back street local, tucked away off the main road. Two well kept real ales are served by friendly and welcoming bar staff

Dropped in here when the Plough was shut. Choice of 3 or 4 well kept ales, friendly staff and good food

Tried to visit the the other day when rain stopped play at the cricket. Sadly the licensee couldn't be arsed to open the pub

For a free house, the choice of ales is poor as, I'm afraid is the quality. Went through the card on a recent visit but sadly all the beers were well below par

Excellent pub hidden away behind Holborn station. Good range of beers. Unfortunately, being small pub it gets very busy but the staff are on the ball

After reading the 2 most recent reviews i approached this pub with trepidation. only to find pleasnt, friendly and helpful staff, a good choice of well kept real ales. I'll be back

A real gem, in the shadow of Piccadilly Station. Excellent range of well kept beers from the Marston 'family'

A unsual Wetherspoons - lots of small interconnected rooms a much mor preferable drinking experience. One of the few Wetherspoons I would go back to

A superb back street boozer with a good beer selection and knowledgable staff. Hidden away but well worth searching out

I went to the Tabard last night for the first time in some 5 years and was pleasantly surprised. Excellent rang of real ales. I'll be back soon!

�3.50 for a pint in this area is about average. The discounted price of �3.00 is great value. Good beer selection, knowledgeable staff. Good food. However last Sunday lunch it was like drinking in a children's playground. Definitely a black mark

An excellent pub, part of the ever reliable Fitzgerald estate. Always a good choice of beers. Gets mobbed on match days but the staff are always on the ball

After being closed except for private functions for the past 12 months or so this pub seems to have returned to normal opening The trouble is that the bar seeems to be there mainly for patrons of the hostel that has opened upstairs. Shame really. It's well appointed and could make an excellent local boozer

This pub has improved so much under the current management. Beer selection and quality is top notch and the staff are quick & knowledgeable. If there's a criticism its that the music can at times be too loud
18 Nov 2011 23:36
Good beer selection ande well looked after, good service but I can only agree with Mayfairdandy. Seating is uncomfortable and skysports dominates from every wall

Visited this pub yesterday and won't rush back. Three handpumps but only one beer on - Bombadier was lifeless and barely drinkable. There are better pubs in the area

Choice of 3-4 ales good servive & good food (excellent sausages)
11 Jun 2011 16:30
This pub has now got it spot on. Good and ever changing beer choice, well kept and served by staff who know what they are doing
29 May 2011 15:13
Small, but perfectly formed. Good range of beers & ciders. Helpfull & knowledgeble staff
21 May 2011 17:42
A cask ale heaven. Only drawback is it seems to be geeting too popular

The Ladbroke Arms, Notting Hill
I visited this pub earlier this week and found the service to be first rate and the beer well kept if a little expensive. However it needs to decide whether its a pub or a restaurant
29 Jan 2011 15:50
Good selection of beers (when they are all on)and well kept but be prepared to wait to be served by some of the worst bar staff in West London

Gordon's Wine Bar, Charing Cross
I agree with McRoyal It may be the best wine bar in the world but if it doesn't sell beer it has no right being included here. I suspect some maniulation

Welcome back the Swan! Thank you Nicholsons for turning this back into a real pub again. GOOD BEER SELECTION, good service.Ba ckgr music can get too loud though

Have visited twice since it opened. Nothing special, overpriced beer .Most staff tend to give short measure. Won't rush back

The Stinging Nettle, Shepherds Bush
OK for a quick pint on the way home. somewhat pricey given the area. The beer is ok but not outstandnig. By no means the worst pub down the Goldhawk Rd but there are better
20 Mar 2010 14:10
A good honest pub. Friendly staff, decent ale. One of the betterpubs in the area
20 Mar 2010 14:03
Visited last Thursday. Very disappointing. All 3 real ales were 'off' by 8.30 as was most of the food menu. Bar staff off-hand bordering on rude

The King Charles I, Kings Cross
Excelent little pub tucked away behind Kings Cross selling local real ale (Brodies)

The Magnesia Bank, North Shields
Another North Shields pub that appears to back to its best. Only one critisism - It still claims to be the 'Mordue Tap' but on my last 2 visits - no Mordue beers available
27 Nov 2009 00:14
The ideal 'local' pub well kept reasonab ly priced beer and let's not forget the excellent free winter homemade soup .
Definitely a perfect '10'

The Tap and Spile, North Shields
Good to see the Tap open again and serving good, well kept beer. Not to mention the hottest crisps in the world!
26 Nov 2009 23:58
An outstanding pub in an area blessed with good pubs. The full range of Shepherd Neame ales all served immaculately
26 Nov 2009 23:49
Quite simply, a gem of a pub with local beer served buy knowledgeable staff
19 Nov 2009 23:48
Good pub with plenty of character, well-kept beer and efficient friendly service
19 Nov 2009 23:45
OK pub but charging �3.30 for a pint of so so Pride is definitely taking the p***

The Hillgate, Notting Hill Gate
I read that this pub had improved of late. Sadly not much. Only one ale on - not well kept. Clientelle noisy and up their own a***s

The Uxbridge Arms, Notting Hill
Still the best pub in Notting Hill Gate. 3 well kept ales, efficient and friendly service

The Tabard, Turnham Green
With the Duchess of Cambridge currently closed. This pub is an excellent alternative. Good choice of ales, well kept served by friendly bar staff
