LONDON (City): The Jamaica Wine House a beautiful pub, restored to its former glory, built on the site of England's first Coffee House.




HAMPSHIRE: The White Horse Inn, Priors Dean also known as The Pub With No Name, is near Petersfield. A perfect pub if ever there was one. A rustic country pub with immense character, it has good food and a fantastic choice of cask ales.



HAMPSHIRE: The Bull Inn, Bentley is a convenient pit-stop off the A31 south of Farnham. Good ales and well presented food draw locals to this 15th century pub.




WEST SUSSEX: The Royal Oak, Friday Street There are several Friday Streets in this area so it was a spot of luck (and satnav) to find this traditional country local. As comfy as an old armchair, it's a multi-nominated Camra pub, serving great cask ales and cider too.



WEST SUSSEX: Ye Old Stout House, Horsham is a classic 'old man' pub in the historic part of town. Some good ales, good chatter and bar billiards!




WEST MIDLANDS: The Old Mill Inn, Baginton is a convenient and attractive pub-hotel on the outskirts of Coventry. Lots of old beams and exposed brickwork merge into an Edwardian house, which sit on the River Sowe. A modern block houses the comfortable, reasonably priced rooms.


LONDON (Wandsworth): The Brewers Inn, Wandsworth, SW18 is a surprisingly nice pub with accommodation. There's a large elegant dining room, a comfortable lounge and a bizarre Moroccan Room for exotic functions. Hubbly-bubbly!



LONDON (Covent Garden): The Chandos, Covent Garden, WC2 is deep in the heart of London. A new old pub, it carries off a refurb it had in the eighties as authentic Edwardian. That said it's a pleasant place to sup a two quid pint of Sam Smith's Old Brewery Bitter, especially in this part of town.


LONDON (City of London): The East India Arms is a charming one room traditional pub in the heart of the City of London. It commemorates the East India Company, incorporated in 1600, which was instrumental in England's global trading domination. Trade your coppers for a good pint of Shepherd Neame beer.
