Mid afternoon and a quiet oasis compared to the hubbub outside.

| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - London Pride | 4.10 |  | Wasn't expecting this to be so good, although £4.90 for privilege |
| Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | Not Tried | Possibly the first time I've seen this in London? |
| Sharp's - Atlantic Pale Ale | 4.20 | Not Tried | |
| Jennings (since closure now brewed at Marston's) - Beggar's Belief | 4.00 | Not Tried |

Early evening. The garden is proving popular tonight and there are a few people inside eating from the burger menu. The sense of notoriety seems to diminish each time I come here. Still expensive though. A house beer was also for sale.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - London Pride | 4.10 |  | A pint of Pride that is of borderline acceptability. |
| Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Sharp's - Atlantic Pale Ale | 4.20 | Not Tried |

This pub has moved relatively up-market in recent years and now plays down its colourful past (although there is still some Kray memorabilia on sale). Crazily expensive (£4 for a pint of Courage Best anyone?). Very busy tonight, mostly with ticketless Olympic tourists from all corners of the globe, watching the swimming on TV.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Eagle (formerly Wells & Young's, formerly Charles Wells, formerly Wells) - Courage Best Bitter (use Marston's entry now please) | 4.00 | | This beer has dramatically improved since brewing was moved to Bedford and there was a return to the use of better quality ingredients. A good malty flavour with some English hop bitterness at the end. |
| Greene King - Morland Old Speckled Hen | 4.50 | Not Tried |

This used to be one of my regular haunts when I worked just across the road from here. I was passing by on my way to Whitechapel station and decided to pop in for a quick half.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - London Pride | 4.10 | | A perfectly acceptable pint of London Pride. |
| Greene King - Morland Old Speckled Hen | 4.50 | Not Tried |
