The Duke of Connaught, Windsor

Good pub for the winter. Nice open fires, genuinely friendly staff and plenty of sport on the screen. Also decent food and a wide selection of beers.

The Red Lion and Pineapple, Acton

This place is hilarious! A good advert for going teetotal unless you want to drink with 50 year old down and outs who look 75. Stay in there for long and you're guaranteed to have a punch up with a bloke called Archie who will then profess to be your best pal and drink with you for the rest of the night before fighting you again as you try and leave.

Not many places in London where you can get such cheap booze though which may explain why old soaks amble in like zombies from Dawn of the Dead.
