The George, WC2R 1AP

Another rainy London day. This pub just opposite the Law Courts on The Strand.
The food to be honest was pretty average 'pub fayre'. The building is amazing though.
Interestingly, the George was founded in 1723 as a coffee house and became a Hotel in 1830, then a pub. Old regulars are Oliver Goldsmith and Samuel Johnson (according to their website).

Given the area on a Sunday there was not much choice around the area.We had originally planned to go to another pub, but found it was closed on a Sunday - we really need to plan these lunches more.

The Old Ship W6 9TD

A standard favorite, you will see we keep coming back here. It's a lovely pub right on the bank of the Thames in Hammersmith, about a 20 minute walk from the station.
The food was delicious, massive piled up helpings of Roast Beef, potatoes (Boiled & Roasted), Beans, Carrots...and all covered in delicious gravy.
Unfortunately there is no Vegetarian option - just a loaded plate of vegies.
If you can get here quick enough to get a table on a Sunday good luck to you!!

Our first ever meeting of the Sunday Roast Club.
Just off Oxford Street, on Dean Street. They have typical pub food and a large varitey of beer and wine. Not the most brilliant pub in london though the toilets are better than average. It's clean and the service is good, but it was very quiet when we went. It was also a rainy day.
The seating is very comfortable and the tables are spaced widely, we assume this is for Friday evening after work packed with Soho workers.
Pleasant enough.
