The Defector's Weld, Shepherds Bush
Entering for the first time, I had the distinct impression that I should have been dressed in flannel and have an ironic snarl on my face.
The selection of beer was ok with a few cask ales. Having the porter and it filled up as it should be.
Very loud, hard to talk to others, and that was only 4:30pm?
Not too sure that I would be want to go back. £6.50 for a pint of beer and a soft drink or the area is a bit pricey.

The Frog Inn the Bedford, Fulham
Great little place. Beer is cold and doesn't taste of metal filings (unlike others), service is good, and the facilities are top notch.

Quite nice place when it is sunny. Cosy place off of the main drag, a little pricey but it is a tourist area. Would come back for the beer only as the food looked a cat had regurgitated the contents of its stomach.

Oh dear I didn't know this was a Spirit pub until I entered. What a pity - great location, nice decor, friendly staff - all one could ask for really.

Nice seating outside with a good view of Hyde Park. Popular with the tourists, is bright outside but dark and dreary inside. If there was a way for them to have a bar outside then this would be perfect... But it isn't to be. I hear that Fullers have taken it over - shut it down, do it up, and I would come back then and see what it is likeM. For now, avoid if you can.

First viewing of this place was of a mulitude of people. Was worried that it would be full of Yanks but was pleasently surprised upon entry.
Decor is all wood panels and leather bending couches, with tables aplenty available for those that are in a group.
Service could be better - maybe employing someone who does know which beer is which would be a good start, instead of having to point to the tap!
Much better than quite a few places in the local vicinity, this is one I would come back to.

The Sir Alexander Fleming, Paddington
Quiet Sunday afternoon, two groups of yocals out the front making these noises I can only approximate as conversation.
Inside it looks like it has borrowed the furniture from a closed down steakhouse, complete with the stains.
The beer is your usual standard fare (real ale off unfortunately), too bad they don't clean the glasses properly as I now fear a trip to my local GP is in order to determine if I have caught anything.
Staff are friendly enough, the only reason this place has any points from me at all.
