Still my favourite pub in London. Sat in the window seats watching the hordes of people stroll by. As close as I can get to heaven.

On my way back from Reading BF and I had 10 minutes to kill before my train left from Charing Cross, so I had to have a pint of Harvey's didn't I?
| Harvey's - Sussex Best Bitter | 4.00 |  | Outstanding and one of my beers of the day. |

I'd heard a lot about this pub and I was ready to be disapointed. However, I wasn't. This pub's great. The interior is stunning with lots of red sealing wax, dark stained wood and white walls. Tony and I met up with Martin here.
| Titanic - Stout | 4.50 |  | Black. Toasted, smoaky, nutty, milky and bitter sweet. Superb. |

The 2000th pub visit entered on the site since we started it back in October 2004. That's about 1 and a half visits per day. Not bad going. I love this pub. 2 minutes walk from Charing Cross, attractive frontage with all of the window boxes and a solid selection of mid size UK regional beers. I ordered my pint of Harvey's Best Bitter, and stood in the alley at the back and necked it in less than 5 minutes.
| Harvey's - Sussex Best Bitter | 4.00 | | Just so drinkable and with so much character. |
| Hop Back - Summer Lightning | 5.00 | Not Tried | |
| Timothy Taylor - Landlord | 4.30 | Not Tried | |
| Batemans - XXXB (now superseded by 4.8% version) | 4.50 | Not Tried | |
| Black Sheep - Best Bitter | 3.80 | Not Tried | |

This is a great pub, one of my favourites in London. Friendly bar staff, great atmosphere and the sausages are amazing. Had a good few pints before going to a gig at the Astoria 2.
| Harvey's - Sussex Best Bitter | 4.00 | | Lovely English bitter. One of the best pints of this I've had. |
| Timothy Taylor - Landlord | 4.30 | | Orange colour. Medium head. Refreshing, hoppy. A really reliable beer, a good reason to come to London. |
| Jennings (since closure now brewed at Marston's) - Cumberland Ale | 4.00 |  | Smooth, light ale, not much of a body, but it has a pleasant hoppy aftertaste. there is a hint of fruit - ripe apples - in there somewhere. |
| Black Sheep - Best Bitter | 3.80 | | Very easy drinking malty bitter. |
| Coach House - Cheshire Gold | 3.90 | | Inoffensive, but nothing particularly interesting. Aroma was minimal but what came through was caramel and grassy hops. Taste was similar decent bitter finish. |
| Black Sheep - Special Ale (previously Ale) | 4.40 | Not Tried | Wrong beer, it was the bitter I had. |

Here with Martin and it was packed so we ended up in the alley at the back.
| Harvey's - Sussex Best Bitter | 4.00 | | The best I think I've ever had. Condition, hop, yeasty, malt, mouthfeel, all stunning. |
