The Old Fox and Hounds, Croydon

Trivia: Electric Light Orchestra played their first ever live gig here in 1972. Worth popping in for that alone isn't it?

Turners Old Star, Wapping

I went here to end a Stag Night last summer and it was not bad for a Coronation Street style estate pub. Friendly enough staff and locals but quiet for a Saturday night. and it was open late as I recall.

It was all going so well until the Groom's brother dropped his guts and we had to make a sharp exit for health reasons.

The Town of Ramsgate, Wapping

I've been here a few times and I have always noticed how friendly the barstaff/landlord are. It is a little off the beaten track so we've always managed to get a table, usually just inside the door. There is a very small beer garden/deck out the back overlooking the Thames and the out front smokers can also wander down the ancient path immediately next to the pub which takes you down an alley to some steps into the Thames itself.

The beer is standard pub stuff (I'm not a real ale drinker so can't comment on that) and the service is always quick. I've not tried the food either (but can recommend the Il Bordello Italian just over the road - if you can get in!)
