Hi All,
Has anyone got any recommendations for a few good pubs in London with real ale that might be worth a visit? Am going for the weekend with herself and hope to slip in to a few pubs for a few cheekys while doing the sightseeing thing. So central London recommendations would be great.
Am staying with friends in Kilburn.
Has anyone been to the Greenwich Union pub, linked to Meantime brewing?

Thanks

Here are a few, this is a very good beer map of London with a whole lot more

I've really not done any of the famous London beer pubs, since so many of them are outside central London. I would second the recommendation to use Stonch's map, but be careful of pubs that don't open on weekends. I think the Gunmaker's is closed then (if you weren't going for a weekend I'd have thrown in The Jerusalem Tavern, owned by the St Peter's brewery).

For a good beer selection in the centre (Covent Garden, basically), The Harp is excellent. The Museum Tavern in Bloomsbury is good too -- usually a Theakstons or two on draught.

Pubs that don't open on the weekend? I'm sorry, come again??? o_O

A few in and around in the city close at the week end and some in the evenings
