The Richmond Park, Kingston Upon Thames

The pub's run by an irishman and the Guinness is always excellent.
The Parish Priest from the church opposite is said to hear confessions in the public bar!
Excellent home-cooked chinese food is served - more than you can eat for a fiver last time I visited.
Very much a traditional local, highly recommended.

Prince of Wales, Hampton Court

Well kept Speckled Hen and Abbott cask ales, smart, polite staff, very clean and smart interior since major refurb a year or so ago.
The current Manageress is excellent, and deals firmly with troublemakers, unlike previous staff!
The garden bar is well lit and heated, ideal for smokers.
Beer a bit pricey but far better than the smelly, dirty Albion Pub over the road.

The Albion, Hampton Court

Cask and guest beers kept well, friendly staff but currently a smelly dirty pub inside and out. Many regulars have migrated pending a promised refurb, we know not when. Guvnor Darren a bit soft with staff (dirty tables and floors) and seems to have lost the plot.
