The Oval Tavern, Croydon

Second visit to Esther's new venture.Has the Green Dragon vibe which is a good thing.Ales excellent and varied.Reasonably busy for a Wednesday afternoon first time round.If in the area pop-in and support one of the bright stars of the Croydon pub scene.

Williamson's Tavern, Mansion House

Visited on Wednesday.They have a new Boss,and service ok.Agree with previous blogs,service was poor in the past,and the split-bar arrangement does not help.Will visit more often;understand they plan to open 1200-2000 on Saturdays.Always found an interesting pint or two in here,in good condition.

The Magpie, Bishopsgate

A very fine pub.Was made most welcome by Anna,and offered samples of drinks.Having people like her behind the bar is a breath of fresh air.The suits were out in force,but most are friendly and accommodating;they just want a decent pint and chat,in a decent pub.If in the area,make a special effort to try this place out.
