The Roundhouse, Battersea

Even by the standards of the area, £4.20 for a pint of Adnams Lighthouse is extortionate robbery. The bar staff should be wearing masks.

The Plough, Clapham Junction

Ah! I notice that they've embraced reality and their website now acknowledges that the pub is in Battersea and not Clapham. Not so far to walk for a pint of Young's now, although friends advise me not to bother in this case. Although pricey, the Ship (SW18) is more enticing.

Recently introduced Fyne Ales' Jarl, a splendid pint at £3.30. Guinness now up to three quid.

They're certainly ignorant of the local geography. Bar's website still describes the premises as being in Clapham, which is all of two miles away, has SW4 postcode and is in Lambeth borough. I live a stone's throw away but "Clapham" is too far to go to a pub that can be noisy, is overpriced and employs bouncers (sorry, admission consultants) as if anticipating/inviting trouble. Young's beer may retain its good reputation but the company's pubs are nowadays not what they used to be, sadly.

"Bay Horse" now history. Closed, renovated and opened in 2012 under new ownership. Now a smart bar (Bay Horse wasn't!) providing live music and other attractions, and renamed Sweeney's on the Park. Guinness at £2.70 the cheapest for miles around.
