The Nightingale, SW12

The Nightingale, Nightingale Lane, a little along from Wandsworth Common railway station. A cracking Young's pub that my brother had never visited (he mixed it up with the Surrey Tavern). Great pint of Special, Kieran had a bottled Young's Double Chocolate Stout (and what an amazing beer that is!), and they also had 'Ordinary', Bombardier, Sambrooks Porterhouse Porter, and Addlestone's for cider drinkers.

I do have an anecdote from working for Securicor CIT, but that's for another day...

Disappointment - Eagle Ale House

I really wanted to visit the Eagle, renowned real ale house I'd never visited, but doesn't open til 2pm during the week, we were there about 5 minutes early, but didn't realise it was about to open... bad luck!

Surely the bloke inside would have noticed us and pointed out it was about to open, but no such luck. We gave up and walked on for our perambulation of Wandsworth Common, next, to an old favourite of mine, the Nightingale in Nightingale Lane, a Young's house I hadn't visited for years...
