Despite the competition of IMAG,
there were still 30+ people at this crawl.
[The Golden Eagle at about 6.10pm
and already the crawl is going well; all the people to the left
of the pub's entrance door are Mensan pub crawlers!)

The Golden Eagle
59 Marylebone Lane, London, W1M 5FN
"An excellent little pub that was spruced up not so long
ago, thankfully retaining it's original character. The beer is
excellent, a good range - eg St. Austell's Tribute and Tinners
- and well kept, which alone makes it worth a visit and the wine
list has recently been updated. It's not always open (especially
at the weekend), but it is one to seek out, if only to see what
a traditional English boozer used to be like. The place is usually
brimming with people who enjoy a sing song around the upright
piano , when the pianist's in (Tuesday, Thursday and Friday),
but it can be undeservedly quiet when he's not. It's straight
out of an Ealing comedy. I say!"

"After a few identity changes in recent years, this place
has settled down. It's not a bad place at all, with Courage best
and Directors on the hand pumps and proper pub grub served downstairs
(upstairs there's a restaurant) including such delights as Spam
fritters. Being in a Marylebone backwater, this place hardly
ever gets crowded, although there's a weekday lunchtime trade,
so if you need place for a quiet pint in the area, this place
will do nicely. The service is prompt and friendly and the prices
are par for the area."

The Dover Castle
43, Weymouth Mews, London, W1G 7EH
"This is a fine old Sam Smith's pub tucked away in a
mews, just a short distance away from the hustle and bustle of
Marylebone Road and Portland Place. As it's a Sam Smith's pub,
the beer is what you'd expect and there's decent enough pub grub
(filling a hole, rather than tickling the taste buds). It rarely
gets crowded, although it picks up after work for a couple of
hours. It is on the tourist map and you'll find a few in here,
but it's so difficult to find that only a few manage to find
it. If you like Sam's produce, the Dover Castle is just the place
to put your feet up, and read a good book or ponder eternity."
