The William IV, Islington

Outstanding staff, fantastic food, delicious drinks, great music...this place is one of my favourite pubs ever. They go out of their way to make you comfortable (despite the comments of the previous reviewer, my girlfriend enjoyed many a Sunday roast in the William IV right through her pregnancy), are accommodating without being intrusive to clientele of all ages and the food is just out of this world.

An absolutely cracking pub.

The London Stone, Cannon Street

Neither is HTM69 - and the point of the pub name is that the actual London Stone (embedded in a wall with a plaque, outside) is symbolic of being the heart of the City of London, the place where deals were made and oaths forged and so on. The myth goes that as long as the stone is safe, so is the city.

What's your excuse? ;0)

Oh, and, not a bad boozer at all btw - food reasonable of a lunchtime, staff friendly, bogs hidden behind a bookcase. Worth a visit if you hate Allbarone's like the one next door.

Castle, Farringdon

Been there twice now on a Sunday. Found the staff to be superb, the music excellent, the crowd a nice mix of all sorts, and the food to be absolutely out of this world.

Can't find a single reason to dislike the place at all, and will definitely be going back.
