St. Christopher's Inn, Borough, SE1

A previous visit to this pub had been extremely disappointing, but on New Years Eve not only was this pub refreshingly civilised (i.e. it wasn't a complete scrum) but it had a Belgian themed evening in progress, with bottles behind the bar and a 'Mobile Beer Cart' of various regional delights. Delirium Tremens was on draught too, a rare sighting anywhere in London. For the ale enthusiast, Deuchars IPA was on the handpumps as well. Although this area is extremely well catered for good pubs, this is still reasonable in its own right and has obviously improved since my visit nearly a year previously.

A relatively narrow pub with a small bar section at front which then goes off at 90 degrees down the most of the length of the rest of the pub .mainly timber floors and numerous seaqting areas both at the front and then down to the back of the pub. Not a bad place to pop into for a few especially nearer the weekend when other places get wedged. Been going in this pub on an occassional basis for the last year. Did have Theakstons Old peculiar on regularly until recently and was a very nice pint. Walked past a couple of weeks ago and it looks like its gone and one less handpump at the front part of the bar. Did have Brains Dark on instead though.
