A local favourite with excellent ales.
- Aces and Eights (Tufnell Park)
Blues, rock and decent American beer comes to North London.

A pub that upholds the finest traditional values.
- The Hope & Anchor (Hornsey)
See what pubs used to be like - before the world turned gastro.

The pub of choice in these parts.
- The Swan (Hammersmith)
A welcome upgrade to a previously grotty pub.
