The Bridge Hotel, Greenford

The photo really doesn't do this hotel/pub justice as it is of the fairly recent extension. Of much greater interest is the original building that houses the bar.
Thankfully Youngs have left the bar pretty much untouched and so it has retained it's original character. Yes, it can be quiet but sometimes I quite like that in a pub. On the other hand it can get very busy when there is a private function, like a wedding, being held in the hotel. As stated previously the Young's Special is very good and fairly priced at about �3. However, it is a shame that the smallest glass of coke they serve is a full pint at over �2! Still overall, I like the Bridge very much.

Edwards Bar, Hammersmith

I visited today and was very impressed. Nicholson's have done a great job refurbishing the pub (mostly by adding partitions) yet still retaining the marvellous original interior. My pint of London Pride was good and the Steak and Kidney pie I had was both delicious and good value.

The Windsor Castle, Clapham Junction

Had a pint of London Pride in the front bar which I thought was a bit pricey at �3-13. Still, at least the strange carpet smell has gone now. The front bar is now dominated by enormous round tables which are perfect if there are 5 or 6 of you in a group but not so great if there are just two of you as there are now much fewer tables at which to sit. Still, the food remains very good value.
