My local reccommendations :)
For drink & great food
My favourite local places with a character for a drink with a very good food
This is a must to visit! Most authentic pub in London. The thai food served in here is a 20 year old institution and the best ( and cheapest ;) in town! They do 'pick up' take away.

Hide away from tourist one of the best pubs in the area with fantastic food and great service. You must book for table if you would like to eat there. It also has a great outside terrace but for that you can not make a reservation, you just may want to go early.

Dating back to 1830's definitely most historic pub around. Just a must too see with its little wooden rooms and tiny doors. Serves good food and has fantastic garden with its separate bar at the back.
