Hi All,


I'm leaving my client this week and trying to work out where to have leaving drinks around Victoria / St James Park area.


I'm NOT happy going to Adam n Eve, Slag n Cabbage or Ha Ha's and would like a decent lively pub or bar.


Anyone work in the vicinity and have any ideas?


A selection of decent ales/lagers in bottle and on tap would be a bonus.


Where do the Channel 4'ers hang out other than the Camel? (not sure if that's a good or bad measure)


Please help...

Try this http://www.pubnetwork.com/London_sw1.htm but my recommendations would be the Duke of Wellington (locally known as the duke of boot) if you can stand the hooray henrys. The Coach & Horses was very nice years ago and worth a try. The Plumbers (opposite my old office) was where famously Lady Lucan ran in screaming 'the nanny's been murdered' and they have some interesting stuff on the wall about the case. The Lucans lived a few doors from the pub.

I work around there.


There are a few decent boozers in the area. If you fancy a Sam Smiths pub there is the Cardinal(one of my favourites) behind Westminster Cathedral. If you want a ?new style? gastro type place try the Phoenixor perhaps the Old Monk on Strutton Ground. Otherwise for traditional pubs the Buckingham and the 2 Chairmen (my other favourite) are good as is Speaker?s Corner (but it can be difficult to get a seat in here). Down towards channel 4 there is the White Horse and Bower which is good. Next door are the Barley Mowand the Marquis of Granby, both are ok and way better and the Adam and Eve or the Feathers (which is the one on Broadway which has been mentioned and is dire but amusing in a drunken office workers trying to be cool and losing their dignity kind of way)


Otherwise do what we do and head to Belgravia for the evening. It has a much better selection of pubs and is wonderfully free of pissed up civil servants.

    • This presumably hasn't been done by vandals. It's hardly a Sycamore Gap situation. So if it's been done by professionals, unless it was a mistake (unlikely) there must have been a good reason, as it would have cost money. It would perhaps have been a good idea to put a notice on the tree explaining why such drastic work was done, but usually (I think) it would be either because of disease (often not noticeable on the surface) or that the roots or branches  were endangering nearby structures. As already said, nobody on here is likely to know. The tree department in Southwark Council are helpful in my (admittedly limited) experience. Please post on here when you have found out, as I agree what's left of the tree looks pretty odd. Depending on why the work was done, possibly they intend to remove the rest as well?
    • I have a very stupid question. I want to get a SIM card to put in an old mobile as a back up,  in case despite my best efforts my mobile gets stolen and I have no way of contacting anybody quickly, eg banks. Can I just buy any old cheap pay as you go  SIM card and put say ten pounds on it and it will then be fine for years (with the phone kept charged!) even if I don't use it, or do I have to use the phone  every so often to keep the SIM card valid?
    • I hate to see trees cut down to such an unfinished state. Unless the tree is home to wildlife, an effort should be made to remove & replace. Otherwise, it's just so useless & unsightly.
    • Given the level of care in Dulwich Park, I would not expect this to be careless or unnecessary. It will grow back.
