Queen Elizabeth, Chingford

The Jukebox & pool table here are long gone, so are most of the hardy regulars of the famous "Queen Liz pool team" who would regularly be seen drinking all day and sweeping all visiting teams before them in majestic style on the green Baize all night. It's changed a bit has the Liz. However the cracking Carvery remains, so does the outdoor seating, and it's still a great boozer for friendly weekend nights, (You have to be brave to listen to the Karaoke on a Friday though!). Usual Beers in tow, friendly bar staff & the odd sightings of pool team living legends makes this a good spot for a balmy summer evening.

The Hawley Arms, Camden

Well this is still a good pub, can still get busy but perfect for a relaxed afternoon pint with mates... but hang on.. this was one of the most surreal, fantastic, rockin boozers in the whole of London! In the early 90's this place was stuck in the 70's and all the better for it, then change came along and made it what we see today. It's still a good pub don't get me wrong but it hasn't a tenth of the personalities and Character that it used to. Anyone remembering the table football, Ploughmans lunch the size of a house, the waxwork man leaning over the balcony,the endless music posters and flags all over the ceiling and the worlds greatest jukebox will no EXACTLY what i mean!
