Good pub to see homeless digging through bins. Staff rather curt today. Beer very cheap though. Soulless however.

The Round Table, Leicester Square
Sat out side had a nice pint of bitter reasonably priced very quite in the afternoon. Can sit out side and watch the world go by however quite confortably.
The selection of ales seems to have ben cut down on it once had an excellent range but was rather expensive it now has the standard fare. Bar man seemed helpful and polite.

Very cheap beer and good quality by Samuel Smith �1.76 a pint I had two pints Also had meal up stairs surroundings have improved it even smells nice now. Good clean toilets. Lots of quite nooks to sit in down staires.
As for the food a let down expensive microwaved. Steak and Kidney pudding like the stuff you get from a tin. Tasteless frozen carrots and greens I did not touch as the carrots were so tasteless nice chips and pleasent mint gravy however. Helpful and pleasent bar staff but at �6.95 food over priced.

Deciding to leave I went into Soho to The Pillars of Hercules at 7 Greek Street here I was served by a charming Aussie girl only two weeks in the country. 2 pints of real ale I have forgotten what it was called but at �2.75 a pint the best value of the day. At first I sat inside over hearing conversations one where a man kept telling another man he knew a mathematician. On the other table a man kept telling a women he had done this that and the other. After a while of this I decided to stand out side where there were no chairs however.
I gave directions to four groups of lost souls. Then a man came up and shook my hand before going inside the pub. At this time it started to rain very heavily so I went inside as well. The man whom shook my hand was drinking a half pint of Fosters larger. He informed me he was some one whom claimed the �dole cheque� he had been to Australia and had Grand children in other words he was a crushing bore. After drinking two my pints I decided to go home a good skin full had been had after all.

The Green Man and French Horn, Covent Garden
The second pub was across the road The Green Man and French Horn. I was served by a helpful gent two pints of Theakston�s Old Perculer; a very pleasant ale at �3 a pint. I sat out side the pub for the first pint on a comfortable chair and could see what was going up. On returning with my second pint two ignoramuses had taken my table I was forced to sit inside a holey unpleasant experience as no one else was around. After a while the ignoramus left and I was able to go back to my seat outside. Next to me however was a very fat man stuffing his ugly face which put a dampener on it all.

The Salisbury, Leicester Square
Yesterday I went to three pubs. The first was The Salisbury at 90 St Martins Lane here I was served a pint of Lieffe a 6.6% beer at �3.80 a pint very expensive. I was told by a helpful staff member all of whom were Aussies. The customers seemed stuck up so I did not hang around. The d�cor was gaudy lots of red paint and an aroma of the toilet sealed it for me to leave. I had sat out side a bit and inside so nice beer and staff nice other customers stuck up gaudy atmosphere.

The Lyceum, Strand
With beer this cheap it is nice to pop in for a pint at the Lyceum. Other customers were commenting on how good the food is it looked quite tasty.
