This is a pub that feels right.
Go in most evenings and you will find people chatting, laughing and socialising not only with each other but with the bar staff too.
If you are a stranger you will be greeted with a smile and served just as quick as every one else.
Go in alone and if you want to chat someone will always chat back. Try it, it won't hurt, honestly.
Oh, and by the way, the beer is first rate. Four ales on tap and all tip top.

The Curtain's Up, West Kensington
So much better than it was a few years ago. Sharps Cornish Coaster and Doom Bar were both very good. The place is looking spick and span and decorated nicely througout. The bar staff quickly remembered our round and were polite and helpful. Little bit posey now but not such a bad thing with good beer and service.

Good proper pub in the heart of London that gets very busy because it's so good. Always a good range of well kept ales on. Well worth a try.

Been coming here off and on for years. Always great beer, tasty food and good company. A gem to amaze and delight your friends with that have never been before.

Was quiet the two occasions (mid week about four) that I tried the Peacock. Woodfordes Wherry then Doom were in good nick. Obviously lacked atmosphere due to lack of custom but not much of a welcome either from the bar staff. May one or both of us needed to try harder?

The Cheshire Cheese, Tower Hill
Having passed the Cheshire Cheese many times in the past I decided to give it a go. The twenty twenty cricket was on at a loud volume so you were forced to acknowledge it. The Marstons EPA was drinkable but nothing special. At �1.99 it may tempt others to stay and possibly return, but not me. Overall a bit on the shabby side

The Punch Bowl, Mayfair
Better than expected but nothing special. Deuchars IPA was good but why the old fashioned jug? We're not all old fogies you know. They even gave out handled glasses for G&T! What's that all about?
Guy Ritchie was holding fort with some of his mates but who cares?
At �3.75 a pint it's not cheap but neither is the area
