Some people enjoy drinking cocktails on top of a piss-smelling multi-storey car park in Peckham. Takes all sorts ;-) FWIW I love The Rake. Only five minutes from work and always a friendly welcome. It's fair to say they always warn people if the beer is 'pricey'. And, as been pointed out, there's always a decent ale on for under four quid.

I like the Rake, but currently drinking more frequently in the Old Red Cow in Smithfield, which has a great selection of cask and keg, and is the closest pub to work that's not a City hell-hole. I still have a psychological block about paying more than a fiver a pint (or at least much more than a fiver), and most of the really expensive stuff is way over strength IPA which I don't like anyway.

Bit out the way for us south-Londoners though, innit?

I quite like that stuff, but it's really only suitable if you're staying for "just the one".

Googleing Most expensive pint in Britain


At ?5.80, London pub sells probably the most expensive pint in Britain


The Coach & Horses proclaims itself as Soho's "most famous pub" ? but it now has a less appealing claim to celebrity.


The historic watering hole for some of London's most raffish residents sells what is claimed to be the most expensive pint in Britain.


Even legendary former clients such as columnist Jeffrey Bernard may have baulked at the eye-watering ?5.80 for a pint of Leffe, the draught Belgium beer, sold at Tesco for about ?2.

Obviously Google has never heard of or reached East Dulwich..

Yup if only the big breweries back then had grown beards and made it "Craft Red Barrell" they'd have got away with selling gassy kegged crap for a premium price too

      Shower enclosure installation

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags.

      Plumber recommendation - A.F.E Plumbing Services

      Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
