The Hurlingham, Fulham

The Hurlingham. Sounds a bit toffee, in reality 'is' a bit toffee but it's good, really it's alright. Look, this area has sloanes in it and to an extent this pub has to cater for those guests but it hasn't made the same mistakes alot of pubs in this area have made. Namely massively high costs, dodgy drinks and pretentious staff. The bar staff are friendly (but on my visit clearly confused by the TV), the drinks are great (ale on draft and bottled), the food is good and the interior is smart. Nice place to take the missus, or have a swift one with a mate. I'm giving it a 7 and will be back.

The Ship Inn, Wandsworth

Yeah I love it but it's losing points for all the annoying toffs that descend on this place on a sunday. I tell you it's mini's and 4x4's parked all the way up Jews Row. The shaggy haired crowd aside this is a nice place, with friendly bar staff and a good drop of Young's. Food is top notch too and in the summer it's BBQ's on the terrace. All good.

The Royal Standard, Wandsworth

I like it, I like it alot. Decent boozer. Nice chat with the barman, decent pint, good atmosphere. Sport on the box when it's on, sport in the corner (Darts) when it's not too busy. Landlord on tap (delicious), and a good selection of nuts and crisps. One comment - sort out the baleric beats I sometimes hear in this place (normally early doors). Not needed.

Giving it an 8/10.
