    Andrew M and I had the privilege to attend a concert by the Wandsworth Symphony orchestra at the weekend, in which Hannah W played the viola. We then had the even greater privilege of joining a load of the orchestra and their friends and family for a drink at The Rocket afterwards. I suspect its proximity to St Mary's church which is where the concert was held and where the orchestra rehearse makes it a regular haunt for thirsty classical musicians! A typical well designed and managed Wetherspoon pub, it had a decent range of libations from wine to Jagerbombs! They coped well with being inundated by a troupe of musicians and their instruments as well as their entourage A nice venue for a post concert drink and discussion as to how variation F played by the violas from The Young Perons's Guide to the Orchestra by Benjamin Britten was the best performance of the night!

    e. Decent pub grub at Wetherspoons prices, but a place that made you feel that little bit sophisticated than a greasy spoo

    Cromwell Tavern! I think I'll joke about this place for the rest of my life. My co-worker and I…read morewanted a place to go for a late night drink close to our hotel and this was the only place opened past midnight that we could find. It's at the bottom of a Holiday Inn, or at least, it appeared to be that way, and was a strange mish-mash of a pub. I think it was trying to feel like it was really old, yet it had the strangest collection of furniture and decor. We had a blast making fun of this tavern. Tables were laid out in sort of a weird fashion and at first we were really close to this group of 20 somethings that were fairly drunk and really obnoxious and a woman who was sitting by herself at a table for 6 who was reading a book while her food sat off to the side. The drunk group left and it got nice and quiet and so did the woman who had a better table than we did so we took her table. Nothing we drank was anything we'd ever come back for. There are way too many good pubs in London. Unless everything else is closed and this is the only option, go elsewhere!

    Good meeting place for a drink. Good selection of libations, on tap and in bottle, to slake your…read morethirst. Plenty of seating options and if you want to make it a working lunch, there's outlets nearby to grab some juice while you get some...juice. GF'ers, try the Old Mout Cider - very refreshing. The food looked (and smelled) good but it was only liquid libations for us. Great staff, everyone was friendly. Not sure what the thing about hotel guests only is, I'm sure there were other people here and they weren't checking for room keys.
