    Actually Prague, you'll see a few duplicates in there but it should be easy enough to weed them out. 

    Edit - hopefully OK now.

    I’m really into my Irish pubs at the moment. The city had got a couple of crackers called Feeneys which does the best guiness I’ve ever had in London (not been to the Devonshire yet). Also got a visit to Mc and sons in Vauxhall planned on Saturday and a boys xmas dinner starting off in Skehans in Nunhead the following Saturday. 
    If you like Irish pubs, then if you can, try the Man of Kent Nunhead Green. probably half a mile to three quaters of one to Skehans. an old fashioned Irish pub.

    Seems like the start of a decent pub crawl to me!

    We should have a CL crawl one night. Someone pick 4 or 5 decent pubs on a reasonable route and we all have a wander

    The Hand & Shears, Middle Street EC1 is a lovely old pub. Established in 1532 and grade 1 listed. Lots of original features. Decent selection of beers - craft ales + Timothy Taylor's Landlord.
    Good shout. And for such a relatively small pub, it's got four different area you can have a cuff in
    I worked next door to it for quite a few years.
    Me too on Aldersgate St

    George and vulture for lunch in the city now Simpsons has closed.

    The Lamb Leadenhall market.

    Wherever you go, must end in the Bunch of Grapes on lime street as 'Charlton'

    Good pub. Used to plot up in there to watch the racing when I lived down the road in East Dulwich. Hope the guvnor Vince is doing ok. Wasn't too well as I recall the last time I was in there

    Didn’t realise the MOK was an Irish pub. We’re going for a dinner at a gaff called kudo, which is about a minute way so will pop in 👍

    I think not. Any time I have been in it is a manageress in charge . Though still very Irish  The horse racing is always on the TV .

    It is, the pub is a throw back to the pre 2000 time.

    For those of you around the Se22 area,  I  recomend the reopend Clock House. 
    They have done a great Job. 
    For Ale drinkers like me they had five points brewery beers on pump last time I was in there.
    It  is owned by the Parched group, a small pub chain I believe.

    Ship an Shovell unique as 1 pub in two separated building across path from each other . The pubs share the same beer cellar so are connected below ground. Charing X WC2

    The Monkey Puzzle in Paddington is a Badger pub, I'm sure

    The Old Nick in Holborn is (or at least was) a Badger pub.

    I think the Ship and Shovell was the only Badger pub in London for a good while, I know the St Stephens Tavern near Westminster tube is another one now, plus those mentioned above.

    I always thought St Stevens was a Nicholson pub, but it was good last time I went in there, so I guess it can't be.

    Ooh, that's reminded me. The Red Lion in Parliament Street actually has a bell in it so that boozy MPs who have missed entire debates can be called back to Parliament to partake in votes, before buggering off back to the pub before the ice in their gin has melted. I bet not many countries would put up with such practices.

    Great job, Stig. I will use that as the basis for some enjoyable nights out in London!

    Not sure it's been mentioned but does anyone know what that pub in central area which has a bar in a circle with several private drinking areas separated by marble glass and small wooden doors that you have to duck through. 
    John Snow in Soho? Not named after the cricketer but the man who discovered cholera was water born, and saved countless lives.
