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.)
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]? is... well, it just is. Real ale and real cider.
- [De Hems (Soho)]? is a very nice Dutch bar that also 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.

- This once great link is down, to be repaired:[http://users.ox.ac.uk/~mert0108/outwith/index.html#london Pubs Outwith Oxfordshire (London section)] (Colin Batchelor's pub guide. I'm not clever enough to write it a suitable description, although the first sentence in these parentheses actually does quite a good job.) But, argh, it has gone. We are going to hunt him down and make him put it back. See http://tantallon.org.uk/ in the meantime.
- Cask Marque have lists of pubs that have been approved by their beer criteria. Unfortunately their lists are indexed by now extinct postal counties so the following are useful
