The Nightingale, Wanstead

I could go along with rogerthedodger - I have been let down on a meal here but it is a good pub nonetheless; some of the other comments are baffling, as is the low(ish) overall score. Everyone else seems to be keen to deny they are Noel, so I suppose I better had as well - and I'm not - but there is room for a very solid 7+ here.

The Surprise, Stockwell

If you looked forever you wouldn't find the Surprise, and you would be missing out. Friendly, (staff and punters) and in a really nice location (next to a big park and some tremendous Portugese restaurants) this is a great pub. Well kept beer very much a part of that.

The Czech Bar, West Hampstead

Wonderful beer, heavy - heavy - food, lovely atmosphere, helps if you speak Czech/Slovak, but equally doesn't matter if you don't. Tremendous history, founded (so they say) at least in part with a gift from President Edouard Benes. Quite hard to find, thankfully.
