A working list of boozers I actually rate, not the ones that look good on Instagram. Scored out of ten like everything else in my life. Mostly Walthamstow because why would I go anywhere else, but a few City and West End spots sneak in when the job or a theatre preview drags me out that way.

Pints worth the trip — 9 items
Name	Address	City	Type	Pint Price	Why	Score
1The Nags Head	9 Orford Road, London	London	Traditional pub	£5.50	My local, basically. Beer garden's proper nice in summer, fairy lights and all that. Does the job every time.	8/10
2The Castle	15 Orford Road, London	London	Gastropub	£6	Sister pub to the Nags Head down the road. Good Sunday roast if you time it right after the market.	7/10
3Wild Card Brewery Tap Room	Arena, Priory Court, Clarendon Road, London	London	Brewery taproom	£6.50	Local brewery doing it properly. Decent for a Saturday after the market stalls, bit of a trek inside the retail park though.	8/10
4Rough Trade East Bar	Old Truman Brewery, 91 Brick Lane, London	London	Record shop bar	£6	Not strictly a bar but they pull a pint and there's always something decent on the speakers. Different crowd to what I'm used to.	6/10
5The Cheshire Cheese	145 Fleet Street, London	London	Historic pub	£6.80	Properly old boozer near the office. Low ceilings, dark corners, feels like drinking in a museum. Good for a quiet one after a late shift.	7/10
6The Blackbird	209 Earls Court Road, London	London	Pub	—	Ended up here before a West End preview once, stayed longer than planned. Big and a bit touristy but does the trick.	6/10
7The Coach and Horses	29 Greek Street, London	London	Pub	£6.20	Soho classic, always rammed before curtain-up. Staff don't mess about, which I like.	7/10
8The Dove	19 Upper Mall, London	London	Riverside pub	£6.50	Took the five-a-side lads here once after a tournament out west. Terrace by the river, hard to beat on a clear evening.	9/10
9The Rose and Crown	53 Hoe Street, London	London	Pub	£5.80	Solid no-nonsense boozer on Hoe Street. Football's always on, nobody bothers you, exactly what you want midweek.	7/10
