The Jeremy Bentham, Bloomsbury

One of the best in the area. Always has a good selection of good real ales
well kept, and a good variety of bottled beers.
Had a non-smoking area upstairs for about
6 months, then the pub was taken over and was smoking again.
The renovation at the start of 2005 kept the same traditional feel,
although the last time I went upstairs still feels a bit bare.

Given that this is in the heart of UCL you'd expect such a good pub to
be swamped by students, but it has more staff than students. I guess
its not trendy enough.

The Bar at tcr, Tottenham Court Road

I'm more than happy if you like this pub, it keeps you
out of the decent nearby pubs.

The Mortimer Arms, Bloomsbury

Good compromise pub, Better pubs nearby though..
Usually has one real ale and a discount on Tetley's.
often busy but you can normally find a table in the corner.
Great for watching sports, not good on the food front (I once overheard
one of the bar staff responding to a client who thought they'd
been brought the wrong order " ... a pannini is a toasted baguette").
