The Spotted Horse, Putney

Had my first pint in the Ole� Spotted Horse in 1974. Fell in love with Young's Ordinary - fell in love with pubs ... it has a great deal to answer for!

Still visit occasionally. It is worth it.

The revamp was overdue. The last landlords were better than the new.

It still serves great beer and provides sports TV - for those who want to watch.

In a horrible location it is a good pub.

Despite the changes it has survived better than most of the others.

The Lamb and Flag, Covent Garden

6.5! You have to be joking!

There might be a complaint about the �men in suits� - but it is in the middle of the city - the chances of finding agricultural labourers knocking about after a day in the fields is a little unlikely.

It is a proper pub.

Excellent beer - at an extraordinary price �2.10 a pint - before 5.30.

Good solid food at a reasonable cost.

Staff that actually seem to care about their customers.

Sorry about the lavatories ... but it is a tiny pub in the middle of Covent Garden ... hence the 8 instead of a 9.
