The Lord Moon Of The Mall, Whitehall

Beware of pickpockets in this pub! Apparently there are professional gangs working here.
Don't leave your wallet in your coat pocket if you put your coat on the back of your chair. I did and now I don't have a wallet.

Apart from that, I quite like this pub. The beer's cheap as you'd expect from a Wetherspoons pub, but the food sometimes tends to be cold.

Why are people drinking Fosters and Stella when they could be drinking Directors?

The Chandos, Trafalgar Square

Most unsuspecting punters will probably try the bar downstairs - this is the smoking area. Upstairs is rather different; one end of the lounge has sumptuous settees - Beware! If you sit in one of these, you may have trouble getting up again. At the other end, there are more conventional tables and chairs. Service can be slow, so the best time to go is when it's nearly empty. The beer (Sam Smith's) is very cheap for central London, but the food's a bit pricey... but hey, they've got to make a profit somehow.
