The Live and Let Live, West Kensington

makes a pleasant change to find a pub that doesnt pander to the normal office/posh crowd in this area. beer wasnt cheap but the atmosphere is relaxed and not full of people complaining about late food or nowhere to sit.

hey, i like 'rough' pubs :) this is the kind of pub that needs support otherwise we'll be left with cut-and-paste chain establishments offering the same drinks/food - variety is good.

The Albion, West Kensington

open fire = good. lack of bitter = poor. cost of a 1664 = excessive. I like the place, and its really handy for a lunchtime beverage but am surprised by the cost.

is this aligned with the Princess Victoria at all? I think I recognised one of the staff here from the Vic but as I'm such a quiet reserved individual didnt ask the question... ;)

any other nice pubs/restaurants around here?

The Cumberland Arms, West Kensington

Went for pre-Christmas drinks and food here. Quite austire, definitely not a pub to go to for a pint as it seems much happier catering for eaters vs drinkers. the wine and beer was nice if a little expensive, but besides your drinking companions there is no culture/entertainment/fun to be had. better pubs for a pint nearby though the food here is probably better than anywhere else local (inc tesco metro...)...
