Flask

77 Highgate West Hill, Highgate, N6 6BU, London

Strolling through green Hampstead with a stout cane in one hand and an anthology of Keates in the other is a fine way for any English person to wile away an afternoon. Where better to imbibe refreshment than at the thoroughly old school Flask?

Gilgamesh

Camden Stables Market, Chalk Farm Road, Camden, NW1 8AH, London

Gilgamesh has to be one of the most daring ventures ever conceived in North London. Plonked bang in the middle of faux-ho Camden Stable Markets, the elaborately carved exterior stands out like a particularly ripe pimple on the nose of the Home Secretary.

Gordons Wine Bar

47 Villiers Street, Strand, WC2N 6NE, London

Ever wanted to impart a seriously classy impression to a would-be lover or important client? Take them to Gordon's and you'll soon find them putty in your evil little hands.

Lock Tavern

35 Chalk Farm Road, Camden, NW1 8AJ, London

It's not often that images of smiling bearded men whispering nice things into your ear appear as you order a pint, but in the case of the Lock Tavern, this really does happen (sometimes - apparitions are not guaranteed).

Pakenham Arms

1 Pakenham Street, Farringdon, WC1X 0LA, London

If there's one thing I could change in this ruddy world of ours, it's the wall paper in the 'proper' Packenham Arms. This is the type of pub you'd love to live near and drink in day on day, week on week ? without break if allowed ? because it has no real novelty to wear off: it's just a good, solid pub.

Sams Brasserie

11 Barley Mow Passage, Chiswick, W4 4PH, London

In a city full of copycat brasserie-cum-bistros - most of them staffed by disinterested antipodean backpackers - it's makes a truly refreshing change to find a place that does simple, high quality food at good prices with truly excellent service.

Seven Stars

53 Carey Street, Aldwych, WC2A 2JB, London

To call the Seven Stars 'traditional' would be like saying that Stalin was a little bit naughty ? the place positively reeks of the stuff. It's a wonderful old joint, and as quirky as you'd ever want: run by a retired actress and managed by a resident cat, fifties film posters plaster the walls and curios dangle in every corner.

Smiths of Smithfield

67-77 Charterhouse Street, Clerkenwell , EC1M 6HJ, London

Resplendent in it's neon pink sineage, the colossal Smith's building dominates the road and leaves all who witness it prostate in prayer on the pavement outside.

The Establishment

45-47 Parsons Green Lane, Fulham, SW6 4HH, London

If lounging around Putney doesn't make you broody, then I don't know what will: it's a seething hotbed of happy, pretty mothers and doe-eyed fathers parading their little ones around in designer Victorian prams.

Troubadour

265 Old Brompton Road, Earls Court, SW5 9JA, London

For a place steeped in history, the Troubadour certainly keeps a low-key profile on the London music scene.

Vinoteca

7 St John Street, Farringdon, Farringdon, EC1M 4AA, London

It's hardly unusual to be served drinks by Antipodeans in London, but ones that are attentive, friendly, funny and knowledgable? It's a first for most people.

Benugo Bar

BFI,South Bank, Waterloo, SE1 8XT , London

I didn't realise I had been searching for it all my life until discovering it at Benugo- a pint of sausage rolls. This intriguing combination of two classic British institutions, along with the mish-mash of coloured sofas strewn around like paint on a canvas, leads to a quick realisation that you are nestled in the heart of London's art hub.

The Water Poet

9-11 Folgate Street, Spitalfields, E1 6BX, London

Some Sundays, only the very best will do. Let us heap praise in generous gravy-soaked lashings on places like the Water Poet, which take the art of Sunday midday feeding to a level the Renaissance masters themselves would shed tears over.

The Grand Union

153 Upper Street, Islington, N1 1RA, London

Ever had a nagging urge for a large slab of hot minced beef whilst strolling through Islington? Me neither, but should such a craving ever strike you - and it will one day - then a swift and direct beeline should be made to the low-key splendour of The Grand Union Bar and Grill.

Cat and Canary

1-24 Fishermans Walk,, Canary Wharf, E14 4DH, London

If you're after a stiff drink and lax conversation after a hard day at the Wharf, you could do a lot worse than to head down to the Cat and Canary, slapped right in the middle of the land of the pinstriped.

Garlic and Shots

14 Frith Street, Soho, W1D 4RD, London

Run by a clearly eccentric pair of Swedish brothers, Garlic and Shots does exactly what it says on the tin plus a bit of food too: all dripping in garlic. It's a novel idea and was successful in the branch in Stockholm, so the Swedes decided to try it in Soho (and, curiously, Parma).

Waterloo Brasserie

119 Waterloo Road, Waterloo, SE1 8UL , London

Privacy is something that us Englanders love ? we're never happier than when we're in our own little domain, discussing matters that aren't anyone else's bloody business. If you find yourself wanting to keep some secrets, toddle over to the Waterloo Brasserie and book a private booth to furtively plan away.

Gone are the days when pub grub meant a bowl of three-week old peanuts. Think beyond pickled eggs and scampi fries and you will be justly rewarded.
