The Crown & Shuttle
Shoreditch / Bar / Cuisine: Pub

New pub in Shoreditch - In London we're somewhat starved of beer gardens, so a new pub launch, which combines a great range of beers and ales along with a large, and beautiful, outdoor area is a welcome addition to Shoreditch High Street. The Crown and Shuttle was a strip club in a previous life but there are no signs of that now. Instead you'll be greeted by comfy mismatched furnishings, exposed brick work and weather-beaten wood, and a barrel of beer the size of a small silo. The beer garden is big, quirky and rustic and, importantly, keeps the sun until the stars, and the heaters, come out. Great nibbles too.

The kitchen is headed up by Marcus McGuiness, who is the former Head Chef at Claude Bosi's two Michelin starred restaurant Hibiscus in Mayfair.

The Candlemaker
Battersea / Bar / Cuisine: Pub

New pub in Battersea - Taking references from the 60s, 70s and the immediate area, this pub has tried to create a fresh offering bridging the gap between informal fun boozer and formal gastro pub. The refurbishment has been finished beautifully and created new spaces enabling the pub to operate year round with attractive features for all seasons. To the rear, the retro furniture and fittings, commissioned art canvases and alpine feel create a unique space that will appeal to many. Offering seasonal British Pub Grub, respectable wine list and an already recognized Sunday roast trade The Candlemaker is heading in the right direction to become a Battersea great.

The Draft House Charlotte
Fitzrovia / Bar / Restaurant / Cuisine: British

Fitzrovia - the decidedly British brand of pubs known as The Draft House takes its first venture into areas north of the River Thames for this new central London pub. This new pub will prove popular with the fashionistas, architects and media slugs (that's us) of Soho and Fitzrovia with its impressive array of worldly beers in pint, half pint and third of pint measures.
