The Pig and Whistle, East Sheen

Full of chavs. Avoid.

Bakers Arms, Winchester

First went to this pub as a student 10 years or so ago and my friend and I had lasers trained on us. The atmosphere was borderline menacing. We didn't go back for a decade.

Until...

Decided to re-visit it for only the second time during a pub crawl (sheer desperation at that stage as we trying to get around 30 pubs for a friend's 30th birthday). Place is still weird and the locals not exactly forthcoming but no direct threats of violence, which is progress of sorts I suppose.

The Eclipse Inn, Winchester

Tiny but really quite quaint. However, watch out for a bearded Aussie called Nick - an extreme blagger!
