Beer Guide London Visits – 22/03/2024

Welcome to what I hope will be the new style of post when covering my Beer Guide London visits. I am planning on writing as much as possible of each post whilst I am actually sat in the bars, although this may drop off as the day goes on… If I can achieve this, and more importantly, maintain it, then it will be a much […]

Blog ‘Reset’

Given last week’s announcement that I am to take over looking after Beer Guide London I have decided that this is a good time to make a few tweaks to this blog. As has been apparent for some time I am quite behind in my postings! Given that I am about to begin the process of revisiting every entry again in my new role it […]

Joint Statement regarding Beer Guide London

The following statement also appears in the News section of www.beerguideldn.com The future of Beer Guide London – a note from Jezza: We launched Beer Guide London in its current format 10 years ago, in January 2014. It started many years before then as a Word document on which I noted good places to drink beer in London. I used to send it to anyone who asked me for tips […]

Beer Guide London Visits 30 – Hackney

18th June 2022 Nowadays we are used to finding good beer and good bars all over London but there was a time when you really had to hunt around. Bermondsey started the change with the nascent beer mile but Hackney and Hackney Wick were quick to follow in its footsteps. Today’s plan was to start at the northern end of Hackney and work south getting […]

Beer Guide London Visits 29 – South East London

11th June 2022 So I know that I am well behind with my posting so I’ll start including the date of the visit so that it can be put in to context. I will also continue to highlight any changes in Guide status of any of the places that get mentioned. On with the waffle! Things were still not fully back to normal on my […]

Beer Guide London Visits 28 – South West London

After two days of longer distance travelling I decided to spend a day revisiting some of the Guide entries closer to home starting with a relatively short bus journey in to Twickenham, alighting outside the Sussex Arms for the first visit of the day. This pub is a member of the Big Smoke family and their beers are well represented as well as plenty of […]

Beer Guide London Visits 27 – East London

The Friday of the long Bank Holiday weekend saw me riding the District line to it’s final stop at Upminster and a day exploring the far Eastern reaches of Guide territory. A ten minute walk from the tube station brought me to the first stop of the day, Upminster Tap Room. This is a slightly larger than usual micropub with a good range of cask […]

Beer Guide London Visits 26 – The Elizabeth Line

After a month at work while the new system went live I was getting desperate to get out and about again. Fortunately the long Platinum Jubilee Bank Holiday weekend gave me ample opportunity to do just that. My first choice was to visit some bars by using the newly opened Elizabeth Line. I’d been using the Heathrow to Paddington stretch as a route in to […]

Beer Guide London Visits 25 – Clerkenwell

Despite not arriving home from my Polish trip until the early hours I had to make sure I got myself up and about in order to go and see the band Tool at the O2 Arena that night. As I was still on holiday it would have been rude not to stop off somewhere en route for a bit of Guide research. I ended up […]

Beer Guide London Visits 24 – Deptford & Peckham

The day started out with a long train journey out to Bexley to pay a visit to the Bexley Brewery followed by a number of Guide visits out in this part of London. I got to the Brewery to find it firmly closed, a rooky error meant that I had missed the announcement that it was closing the previous Saturday for an undisclosed period of […]
