The Princess of Wales, Blackheath

Depending on when you go, a mixture of lads post-Sunday football, or well-heeled Blackheath-ites with their buggies. Which is part of the charm of this place. Very good Sunday roasts and a hearty menu that seems to change with the season that shows it's a pub with its own menu and not standard all-year-round chain pub fayre. Cracking wallpaper round the side of the pub !

The Railway, Blackheath

Having moved to Blackheath recently and realised this was my local, I had to wait a week whilst it underwent refurbishment, but having gone there for the first time on Friday 15th, what a joy to see my two favourite beers (Franziskaner and Schneide-Weisse) on tap. On tap! At my local!

Very busy for a Friday but friendly clientele and not chav-ridden like I'd been led to believe about Blackheath of a weekend. I'll be back lots, I'm sure. Apparently they have a roof terrace opening, just in time for winter.

Oh, and no-smoking, according to the sign on the window, which I'm quite happy about, but others won't be...
