Good pubs in London?

Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world

Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

I'll be going to London with some friends for a few days in the first week of August, and was wondering if any of all of you Brits here know some good pubs/bars/whatever that you'd recommend?

Nambucca, Archway Tavern, St Johns Tavern, Angies, Hope & Anchor, all in Islington are great.

Dublin Castle, Barfly, in Camden are also good.

Try https://www.viewlondon.co.uk/drink.asp for loads more info.

Islington/Camden is my main area. I know a few further out, but not off hand.

Thanks fellas, I'll check it out... So far it seems we'll be staying at the Piccadilly Backpackers hostel in Piccadilly Circus, anyone know of anything around there?

Another thing, just found out InMe is on tour while we're there, and are playing in Swindon and Brighton... Which is closest/fastest from London?

Blomkaal,

The UK and DK may well be neighbours but I couldnt tell you the name of my next door neighbour, so...see my point. You could be so near yet so far.

Try the Walkabout near Covent Garden,,The Punch and Judy is a good house (Covent Garden as well) a little bit over priced however,,My fave is having an afternoon round and about Leicester Square, plenty of pubs in competition with each other you can get some good offers

For renting there 3 options (that i know of):

1. Council house - can be quite cheap, and it usually shows user added image

You get what you pay for really. Some areas are better than others.

2. Housing Association - I'd say (usually) better that the above, but it works in similar ways. Might cost slightly more?

3. Rent Privately - The more you pay the better the property. Usually very expensive though as they can charge as they wish - and they usually do! :bandit:

The further into central London you are, the more you likely gonna pay. I hear there are studio flats (above shops) in the west end for £200k+ user added image
