The Red Lion, Isleworth

We visited this pub today for a beer festival that was held this weekend. The beers were well kept and there was an excellent selection. We were having quite a good time, until we were unfortunately accosted by a woman and her six children in the beer garden. Normally, I am fine with children in pubs, as long as they are well behaved, but this woman came over to our small table and asked if she could sit with us. We said we were leaving soon, and would rather not have six children on our laps. She proceeded to stand directly beside us, with her children screaming and running around our table, and then after 10 minutes they sat down and told us 'our time was up'. Oh, well. She ruined a great first impression for a decent real ale pub.

The Radnor Arms, Kensington

What a fantastic find! I read about this pub in the Good Beer Guide 2006 and then made the trek. It was certainly well worth it. The pub had Everard's Tiger and Dark Star Hophead on, both extremely well kept.

The staff and punters were friendly, the pub clean and inviting, and the atmosphere perfect.

I will be back. You should visit too.
