Lovely place.

Roddy's Bar, Ealing. First time I went there, full of second gen Irish singing RA songs... other times the same people banging on about "coloureds" and "p***s"

That said, the bloke who runs it is as sound as a pound and not all the punters are eejits but you have to be in a certain frame of mind to brave it.

The Tropicana in Bermondsey - the unofficial Millwall FC supporters club. No windows, they boarded them up after a local fan got set alight and chucked in through one. Owner kept asking us if we could see the ghosts.....
