The Cleveland, Brighton

Lived in the area for 25 years, had 4 local pubs in walking distance to choose from, overall this is still my favourite, even though its not the nearest.
A fine traditional corner house, plenty of room to sit, not too noisy, with benches outside for a fine summer evening.

Babel, Clapham Junction

I was so unhappy with this pub I registered with BITE just in in order to warn off others.
I went there last Friday night about 6pm. I admit I loved the decor, the lighting etc, but .. oh but ... the sofas should be condemned. They are so low off the ground, they gave me back trouble after 30 minutes, which has only begun to clear up on Tuesday - having been on Ibuprofen for 3 days. There are no other chairs etc, but what idiot has sawn the legs shorter I don't know.
If you have any history of back problems or sport injury, avoid this bar like the plague!
