The Bricklayers Arms, Brentford

Went in here on Saturday 4/8/07 and found it to be a friendly enought pub. Few regulars in and all seemed very welcoming. Visited because of the Robert Rankin link and was wondering whether anyone in was one of the many colourful charcaters from his books.

The Crooked Surgeon, Leicester Square

Was in on Wednesday 11/4 and found it a very friendly and decent pub until 10.40. Was asked to vacate my seat to go and stand in the cramped bar area so they could wash the tables and put the chairs up. Did not hear a last orders bell and tried to get another beer at 10.50. The barman said nothing but made a slit throat action. Could not believe that a bar in the west end closes at 11.15 and does not sound a last orders bell.

The Hoop and Toy, South Kensington

A great pub with function rooms available upstairs for booking at a price. Does get busy very quickly but empties as quickly as tends to be people popping in on the way back from the museums. Good food, good choice of beers.
