PJs? Wink Roll Eyes Roll Eyes A Ah, would this indicate that you`re a negligee girl, A? Or maybe baby doll nightdress? Or... STOP RIGHT THERE, MORT! Slapped wrists. A gels night attire is her own concern.  |

Know what makes me happy? A really good pub. Sights like this -  - make me smile instinctively. I love 'em, yes yes I do! Right, thanks for your indulgence, I shall now retire to the workplace. |

Martle,
Shame there are no photographs of the interior because it doesn`t like much on the outside, but this is a favourite Hampstead pub, mainly because it doesn`t behave like one. Really helpful, friendly staff, delicious food (ah, those wild boar sausages with mash!), you can actually have a conversation and be heard. Oh and the beer`s fine too. Water bowls for dogs as well. You get the occasional tourist wanting to see the bullet holes left when Ruth Ellis shot her lover, but they soon move on to Keats House. It`s a great little pub if you are ever in its vicinity.

Please do. I still have fond memories of the watering hole near the Elephant and Castle, that we stopped at on a field trip when I was still a student.

I used to go to pubs in Hampstead when I lived there in the late 1970s. The King of Bohemia but mostly the Old White Bear. They're not recommendations necessarily but they just suited. I haven't been in either of them for over 25 years.

Tony, sad to say The King of Bohemia is no more. It shut down some years back, amid much protest. It then had a short life span as a charity shop and now it is another flippin` Hampstead clothes shop. Just what we need. Grrr. A lot of the pubs have been tarted up and `cloned`, the pubs that dare not speak their name. There`s not many real pubs left - The Holly Bush, Magdala, the one that I can never remember the name of in New End, and The Flask which is unrepentant in its pubishness. The William IV is still going strong thouigh!
Cheers!

Oldest pub in Brighton, this one. And still warm, cosy and, er, old. Terrific. Imagine it without fag smoke. Ugh. (Sorry, everyone, I'm coming hard up against a mid-life denoument here.)  |

Martle,
I`ve been there! It was a great place. Friendly, cosy, quirky and an all round jolly good hostelry.

Mort - yes, hostelry, and indeed upholstery (think crushed velvet, red). Brighton of course caters for quirkiness; but usually of the non-threatening variety! There's a pub on every street corner. There are three within five doors of that one!

With apologies to all you smokers out there, I can't wait for cigarettes to be banned on July 1. And the William IV in Hampstead. I went in there once with a couple of friends. I'm not vain but I certainly got looked at that evening.
