The Good Mixer, Camden

Had the good fortune of singing with Amy Winehouse in here a little while back: I was in the bar, she was on the radio.

I thank-you.

The Monkhams Inn, Buckhurst Hill

Regular book club meetings in here, alternating with MENSA symposiums every second week. Bags to do whilst your man waits for you in your carriage, check out the replica wall (brick for brick!) in the extensive gardens where they play the Eton wall game or peruse the Magna Carta on display in the Orangery.

What? They’ve dismantled the wall, wiped their arses on the Carta and thrown the toffs on the pyre along with the books? Gah! I knew it wouldn’t last!

Still a chav palace, unfortunately; avoid.

The George, Wanstead

Has to be the best Spoon in the UK. Cavernous inside with 2 bars, decent selection of beers and decent (cheap) food.

Lots of famous 'Georges' on the wall (Orwell, Best, etc) but no picture of Peppa Pig's younger brother who shares the same name. Yet.

Look busy, here comes the Crow!
