The Star Tavern, Belgravia

Staff looked very inexperienced on my last visit, but they made up for it with friendliness and enthusiasm. ESB and Pride were both good, though pricey.

Recommended.

Queens Larder, Bloomsbury

Friendly though not chatty barstaff, okay selection of ales (and well kept). Usually packed in the after-office hours, quieting down in the evening. Food's decent and there's additional seating upstairs.

I'm only an occasional visitor, but I've never seen anything but perfectly civil behaviour from the staff.

The Lamb, Bloomsbury

Never been the greatest fan of Young's, not even before the merger with Wells. Even so this used to be a pretty good pub a few years back. However, service have gone downhill the last couple of years. Seems now to be largely staffed by disinterested student part-timers. A shame really.
