London

[east coast beer drinker]

Going to London tomorrow for an unplanned visit (hence the lateness of the question).
Was going to call at The Glasshouse Stores in Piccadilly, The Cock, Oxford Circus  & The Angel in the Fields. Do all of these sell hand pull OBB?

Thanks as always guys n gals!!!

Not been in them for a while, but don't think any do off the top of my head.

  That's a blow. Be Chandos again then if not I suppose. Won't have time for Rising Sun and the Cheese (strange opening hours as well).
Thanks

I stand corrected, The Cock does and can be seen here: http://www.travelswithbeer.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/IMG_1383.jpg

You could phone the Glasshouse and The Angel in the Fields to see if they have cask Old Brewery Bitter.

What are the opening times for these pubs please, as i am intending to visit all the London pubs later this month. Thanks.

Soho and West End pubs generally open normal Samuel Smith's hours. Some pubs in the City have more office hours related opening times.  My advice: phone and ask.

Only found one London pub to open before 12 noon and that was the Swiss Cottage and that opened at 11am.

I have recollection of one London pub opening before 11am...it might have been near Spitalfields Market...I'll check.

Might be mistaken on its location.

On your list only The Cock sells cask OBB, but if you skip past The Champion, the Blue Posts sells it too.

Thanks all, i shall probably have a quick phone round and see what times they open. Or if i forget then i shall ask in the first one.

Just back in sunny Scarborough.

Only had chance to go in two - The Glasshouse Stores and The Cock. Had me first pint of keg OBB in the GHS. Nice pub, literally yards from the Duke of Argyll (I think?).  Had separate cellar in basement bar that was closed and the stairs to upstairs were roped off. Keg OBB, not bad, like it better than Sov but a bit on the cold side. The had a quick couple in the Cock. Hand pull OBB as DB said, not a bad pint. However, barman ruined the second pint because he was talking as he pulled it and tried to put the head on last, what a div? Place was a bit dusty and toilets were dated and smelly. Don't think I would bother visiting again although it only yards from Oxford Street.

Thanks for all the helpful suggestions by the way.
