The Queen Dowager, Teddington

I love this pub even more now than ever.
Even tried the sushi the other day which was excellent (my companion had a pizza but said she wll have sushi next time.

As a South London lad I have been drinking Youngs for many years - it is well kept and presented, lines are clean etc.

We like the barstools, booths and Hollywood iconography- makes a change from the usually drab Youngs fare.

Staff are always friendly and hospitable. Mark is a nice bloke and several people fancy the gorgeous Magda (intelligent, funny, good body etc)
(The one exception was a cute, dopey, miserable looking west country yokel barmaid but she has gone).

(a few points of observation - those who don't like it and drink else where, carry on doing so - you are not missed by the regulars. It is categorically not a pikey pub. The clientele are a friendly and ecclectic bunch -As well as locals there are a few from the local shops and offices, a few from the universities, by dint of its location not much passing trade, the girls from the stables etc)
