Yup, that's right Tabard Street is in Borough. Runs to the left of the big church opposite the station.
You are completely right. I totally forgot about it. It's actually a Grade II listed building on the inside.

I really like a new place just north of Broadway Market called The Prince Arthur, kidn of more like a gastro pub but a great place to while away an afternoon./QUOTE]
Nothing to do with it being 30 seconds away from your house?
For me, that's any one with the football on. A statement which will not make me popular, I fear.

Yeah quite a few places round us in Rotherhithe still do, The China Hall has very nice sausage rolls, the Ship has sarnies and stuff when football is on and they can be bothered. They're just pubs though - if you know what I mean, nothing special - though the Ship can be very bleary fun with sing-a-longs if it's open late. The Mayflower does free nuts and olives (posh!) sometimes. And so they should at the prices they charge.
The Sebright just off Hackney Road used to do free food - full dinner - and music hall with Dockyard Doris every Thursday afternoon if I remember rightly, Doris is dead now but it would be nice if they still carried on that tradition, if indeed the pub is still there? It saved me starving a few times way back, so I hope so.

Well, maybe, maybe not. But as a football fan, good pubs that show football are hard to come by. It is fair to say that most pubs with Sky are shit. And obviously the worst place in the world is a sports bar.

I've got some of them. Horrible aren't they?
Sam Smiths rools, although they always seem to be packed. Used to drink in the Angel every week but got sick of sitting in people's laps.

I've just had several! But what I really want is for Oliver to take me on a pub crawl.

Cross Keys - Chelsea
I went past this place at the w/e on a walk, didn't actually go in but as exteriors go it's postively bristling with ornate features. Really quite OTT, see the pics, The whole area around there is like another country.

Funny quote about it '...except on saturday night when it's full of posh girls with dodgy hair.'

funny, i wonder if i have ever seen you without knowing, i have been in the Griffin quite a lot this last year. its a lovely spot, so comfy
The Palm Tree is also wicked, went there for my sister's birthday and it was so good, the vibe was great
also i have just clocked who your avatar is - big in the game

rip this joint please
quite agree. if it is on form it's not a bad drop but no more.
(that said, i will gladly have it all day long, of course. i've never actually drank it in Yorkshire mind you! only the northwest or southeast. hmm.)
the Coal Hole on the Strand is one of my favourite central London alehouses.
it's nothing too special in itself (quite handsome like, mind), save the location - which is extremely excellent - and i've never had a bad time in there plus the food is hefty and decent.
it's near the Ship and Shovell too, which is a laugh if you have drunk neophytes in the party.

Holly bush is nice for a pint/gastro-pie!
Lyceum on strand is my work local - does the trick.
Jerusalem Tavern in clarkenwell is a good St Peters pub (suffolk brewer i think and their only pub).
Cheshire cheese on fleet street - very old, slightly quaint pub which is quite decent and has cool celler type areas.
Kentish town - pineapple and torriano both nice. Then Lord Palmerston, St Johns and Bull and Last in highgate/KT on a gastro tip.

Why has no one mentioned Ye Olde Mitre, on Ely Place yet?
The Seven Stars can piss off though.
The Morpeth is a good one, like craner says, don't really know any other SW1 pubs to be honest, bar the horrible ones round Victoria. The Castle on Cursitor Street EC4 used to be great. Couldn't vouch for it now though. Whoever mentioned the Wenlock is dead on. Same for the King's Arms SE1.
As Wetherspoons go, I'd like to stick my oar in for the Knights Templar on Chancery Lane.
Ye Olde White Horse (all this Ye Oldedom isn't necessarily bad), near UCL is a great little pub too.
If you are in Crouch End and you go to a pub other than the Harringay Arms, you're beyond help.

Darned cockwombles.
Crown and Anchor on Upper Street is surprisingly great, I find, especially when you can get one of the fitted seats around the periphery.
Ness Rowlah
Norwegian Wood
It's a dump - even after it's been "re-decorated" (?).
Seconded on Jerusalem Tavern in The City (it's a fake though? as a pub it's not that old), The Lamb at Holborn, Fitzroy in Fitzrovia.
The Toucan for Guiness. The Water Poet near Liverpool Street.
On a summers day in Soho: Shashton Arms or Dog&Duck.
On a cold day: The Lyric, the only one with a cosy open fire.
Sam Smith's which is not that busy in Soho: White Horse (Rupert St one, not the media hangout one around Carnaby St).
Bradley's Spanish Bar for the jukebox (avoid the loos though).
