Jacks is great on week nights, never been on a Saturday. It's on Isabella Street and is often packed (in the week) so reserve some space. Depends what sort of night out you want really, and how close to Waterloo. If you want to be close to the station there's not much choice, could try The Stage Door, tucked behind the Old Vic or there's a latino type bar on the corner of lower marsh (but haven't been there in yonks so no idea what it's like now.) or the Fire Station but you need to be the kind of person that likes that kind of place or you'll hate it. Like Marmite.

Rough and ready is an understatement, but it does have good ale :)

Definitely not for food, no. Not sure where you'll get a better selection of beers in Waterloo, though.

I can remember in the 70s meeting musicians from the Royal Festival Hall popping into the Hole in the Wall for a quick half time pint between symphonies - t'was really rough then but their DJs added some class, even if the speed with which they downed their beer didn't

    • Had council stock not been sold off then it wouldn't have needed replacing. Whilst I agree that the prohibition on spending revenue from sales on new council housing was a contributory factor, where, in places where building land is scarce and expensive such as London, would these replacement homes have been built. Don't mention infill land! The whole right to buy issue made me so angry when it was introduced and I'm still fuming 40 odd years later. If I could see it was just creating problems for the future, how come Thatcher didn't. I suspect though she did, was more interested in buying votes, and just didn't care about a scarcity of housing impacting the next generations.
    • Actually I don't think so. What caused the problem was the ban on councils using the revenues from sales to build more houses. Had councils been able to reinvest in more housing then we would have had a boom in building. And councils would have been relieved, through the sales, of the cost of maintaining old housing stock. Thatcher believed that council tenants didn't vote Conservative, and home owners did. Which may have been, at the time a correct assumption. But it was the ban on councils building more from the sales revenues which was the real killer here. Not the sales themselves. 
    • I agree with Jenjenjen. Guarantees are provided for works and services actually carried out; they are not an insurance policy for leaks anywhere else on the roof. Assuming that the rendering at the chimney stopped the leak that you asked the roofer to repair, then the guarantee will cover that rendering work. Indeed, if at some time in the future it leaked again at that exact same spot but by another cause, that would not be covered. Failure of rendering around a chimney is pretty common so, if re-rendering did resolve that leak, there is no particular reason to link it to the holes in the felt elsewhere across the roof. 
    • Hey, I am on the first floor and I am directly impacted if roof leaks. We got a roofing company to do repair work which was supposed to be guaranteed. However, when it started leaking again, we were informed that the guarantee is just for a new roof and not repair work. Each time the company that did the repair work came out again over the next few years, we had to pay additional amounts. The roof continues to leak, so I have just organised another company to fix the roof instead, as the guarantee doesn't mean anything.
