When not in my own pubs, i enjoy...
The Rake... always a new ale to try
the Charles Dickens... nice and relaxing on for a sunday drink
Royal Oak for sunday roast and a nice pint of harveys
Founders Arms for sunday roast and river view ( as long as you arrive early)
and although i dont think its in SE1 but we had a lovely roast lunch in the 3 stags by lambeth north tube.
are you planning to pulish your drawing?
cheers

Have no idea how to go about it but my sister thinks I should do a book of my drawings done mainly in north Southwark, where I live. Sold quite a few at my recent exhibition at Waterloo Action Centre. I shall just keep drawing and give it some thought.

Beers are good - the bitter, cooking lager and the strong one - the stout makes an interesting change from Guinness. Cider's very nice. Scotch is good. Irish Whisky is better. Chilean red is OK. The red Spanish one and the whites are vile I'll admit.
Anyway, my work here is done... off to the Tap in fact :-)
I'd agree with that,a lot of those 50/50 tourist local pubs are the same (perhaps 80/20 in this case)the local punter becomes a breath of fresh air to the barstaff,a friendly familiar face and they tend to try and look after you a bit.
I disagree about the stout though,not a fan of Murphy's.
Is it Murphy's? Surely it's their own Samuel Smith's Extra Stout.

It has been a while to be honest,it used to be Murphy's,I think i've had that Samuel Smiths porter in a pub behind the Copper (as it was)was it the Samuel Smith? That was erm an experiance,wasn't my cup of tea.

Simon the Tanner, The Leather Exchange, Katzenjammer and the good ole Marigold and Hand for a bit of old fashioned Souf London pub.
