The Queens Arms, Walthamstow

This place is great. The landlady,Maureen, is welcoming and helpful and up for a laugh. There seems to be all sorts of stuff going on but if you're just about the beer and the football then that goes down a treat too-it is a Tottenham pub mind....

The Gorringe Park, Tooting

The Gorringe was my local for the last two years and I am missing it greatly.

You can't beat it for local colour. Many a time I found myself being plied drinks for hours by a total stranger who is willing to listen to my non-sensical babblings all night.

We went to the free barbeque last summer and turned up with a jar of burger relish from the local LIDL's only to find that they already had jars, pure class.

The karoake is great, ranging from musical style serenades from the local actor Tom or incoherent yelling from most of the others.

You can get fresh rolls every day, me mate swears by them, and a good range of draught and bottled Youngs Ales. The "Old Nick" is rocket fuel.

Long live the Park
