CAMRA
West London Pub of the Year 2011 – The wall behind the bar is lined with glass-fronted coolers, where hundreds of bottled beers rest waiting to be picked out. Ask for a beer menu and you’ll probably find something you’ve never had before Read more…

Best London pub 2011 – It’s been a tough year, with a number of pubs across the capital closing or being converted to other uses – most depressingly those turned into flats or other non-retail uses. But that said, we’ve also seen a crop of new pubs and bars that seem to be bucking the trend and actually establishing themselves within their local communities. Read more…

Built into the structure of a 1970s council estate in Pimlico is a pub that is easily missed.

Trip Advisor
One of the nearest things you will get to an old fashioned pub atmosphere in central London, even if the furnishings are 21st century. This is a pub for talking and meting and eating good food.

A slight smaller scale version of their sister pub – the Craft Beer Co in Clerkenwell. This place is in my top 5 UK pubs for great beer. A big selection of local UK beers along with loads of US and European beers on tap. Then we get to all the fridges stocked with exotic bottles from all over the world.
They do decent food too, so it’s well worth staying the whole night. Read more…
The Beer Justice
In 2010, I have high hopes that the next pub to surge to the attention of London’s beer drinkers will be the Cask Pub and Kitchen in Pimlico a 7-8 minute walk south of Victoria.
