London pub recommendations
Me and Mrs ISC are off to London this weekend and if possible I'd like to try a few new pubs.
We will be near Tate Britain, Tate Modern/Southwark and may well have a walk around Hampstead if the weather is fit.
We love tradditional London boozers with decent ale, so any tips would be very gratefully received.

Re: London pub recommendations
The George in Southwark is a nice building, no idea what the beer is like these days.
(Seems to be Greene King so probably dull)

Re: London pub recommendations
If you are in that neck of the woods then Borough Market is definitely worth a visit and here are a few pubs around it.

Re: London pub recommendations
If you're near Soho I can recommend the Duke of Argyll in Brewer Street. Newly refurbed with lovely wood panelling to the original 19th century plans with a few snugs that open onto the bar downstairs, and an upstairs (where they serve good food) that is like sitting in a Gentlemans Club, complete with comfy chairs and sofas. It's a Sam Smiths pub so beer is a bit mixed but OK. Lovely atmosphere when I was there escaping from the snow a couple of weekends ago.
All the best, Si

And very near Market Porter is The Rake, new owners but they did sort out their cask ale issues very quickly.

Re: London pub recommendations
Re: Hampstead. In a central location there I suggest The Holly Bush www.hollybushhampstead.co.uk historic, Fullers pub, very well rated, very convenient location whilst wondering around central Hampstead. A short stroll away you might also consider popping into the Flask, another trad/highly regarded pub owned by Youngs https://www.theflaskhampstead.co.uk/

Re: London pub recommendations
I’ve just had a quick Good Friday pint in The Holly Bush, as you do. Both the dog and I are extremely wet. Hopefully the OP will check the weather forecast or go well prepared.

Sounds like you've spent a long lunch in both pubs, maybe that's the bit that's 'untrue'
... Ooh better go, free beer!
