Pubs are great. We like pubs. Some of them have beer gardens. Most people have experienced the dilemma of finding a pub that's open after 11pm - a particular nightmare in the centre of town. Similarly, there are those venues that conjur up a strange air of 'Deliverance' that are best avoided unless you carry fire-arms as a matter of course (or like getting beaten up/stared at in a strangely disturbing way.)

Some pubs (notably JD Wetherspoon ones) have non-smoking areas for people who don't want to inhale second-hand-smoke while enjoying a beer.

Pub-related phenomena include closing time, pub crawls and vertical drinking.

Our recommendations

The Porterhouse, Covent Garden is a good but pricey pub in the West End.
The Head of Steam is a good real ale pub next to Euston Station.
The Wenlock Arms, N1 7TA is... well, it just is. Real ale and real cider.
De Hems in Soho does draught Kriek and other good Belgian beers.
The Jerusalem Tavern in Clerkenwell does some very nice and unusual beers from the small St Peter's brewery.
If you're ever forced to go to Bromley, The Partridge on the High Street is probably your best bet.
