Some great pubs on the monopoly crawl.

If you're around Westminster/Pimlico I can personally recommend a few.

The Speaker - Perkins Rents
The Cask - corner of Charlwood St & Tachbrook St
The Windsor Castle - Francis St
The Royal Oak - Regency St
The Barley Mow - Horseferry Rd

Around St James Park tube station:
The Sanctuary - Tothill St (good pies if they still do them)
The Two Chairmen - Dartmouth St
The Adam & Eve and The Buckingham Arms - Petty France

If you fancy somewhere a bit more up-market with good food then there's the Thomas Cubitt on Elizabeth St but that can get very busy.

Damn this tread is old - but are your recommendations still up to date? Am going to London next week. It would be nice to know some good Pubs :)

Old? He only started it 24 hours ago! Bloody millennials.

They’re all still there as far as I know.

The Shepherds Market pubs are pretty good. You get some tourists who have found them, but it's more local workers than anything else.

We used to do what we called The Ecumenical pub crawl. Starting by Westminster Abbey and ending up in what’s now the Windsor Castle (used to be The Cardinals) by Westminster RC Cathedral.

The Shepherd's Tavern in Mayfair is not bad. As is the Golden Lion just off Pall Mall. And The Nags Head and Star Tavern in Belgravia.

There are 4 pubs I am going to

Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese on Fleet Street .... Sam Smiths
Cross Keys in Covent Garden .... 5.95 for a Sunday roast :)
Nell Gwynn Tavern Covent Garden
Ye Olde Mitre in Farringdon

But will deffo check out some recommendations on here :) thanks

Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese is the one. Just look up the history of the place. It's just fantastic.

I also very much like The Glasshouse Stores on Brewer Street in Soho (another Sam Smiths place with a traditional pub atmosphere).

Up west my fave pubs are the Lamb and Flag in Covent Garden (Friday eves) and The Salisbury off Leicester Sq.

We often did this trip with visitors in town: meet up mid morning at Borough Market for eats, get the train out of London Bridge to Blackheath, through and across to the main gates at Greenwich park, walk down past the Royal Observatory and the statue of Wolfe (note the bullet holes in the plinth made by Uwe Roslers granddad), down the hill to the Maritime museum and naval college and into Greenwich. Head right at the Cutty Sark along the Thames to the Trafalger pub for a taster, carry on further east to the Cutty Sark pub for a few more before going back into Greenwich to catch the river bus back to Charing Cross.

Nell Gwynn is good one back end of Covent Garden difficult to find down an alleyway
