Builders Arms

Good pub

As this pub is in Kensington, The Builders doesn't exactly mean everyone's dressed in overalls, wearing hard hats and swilling beer. Think of them as "building surveyors", wearing suits, clipboards under one arm, Blackberry in his hand and a glass of Viognier in the other. That said, it's a nice pub, off the beaten track and has some tables outside for the odd occasion when the weather warrants it!

My old local

This place used to be my local and it is still one of my favourites; not because there's anything particularly special about it but just a nice, bright, airy bar with a little bit of outside space.

It's also off the beaten track, so it is definitely a locals' bar (a good or bad thing, depending on your view of Kensington residents).
