    Not far off what you'd expect to pay in that area.

    You should have bought summat decent then you wouldn't feel as conned!

    If you want a cheap pint (and an old school atmosphere) you can't go wrong with a Sam Smith's pub and there's quite a few in central London if memory serves.

    £4.80 is really expensive, even in the city.

    Fullers pubs are more expensive than most, but that's extortionate!

    Next time just take a short stroll up to The Globe - would have been about £3.85 in there. Or Ye Olde Watling towards St Pauls, the same.

    I was in Enfield (outer London) earlier today for a meeting and went for a pint with a colleague afterwards. I was really surprised when I was asked for £5.20 for two pints of Carlsberg.

    If we're on a tommy topper of beer prices l paid 20 euros for a Budweiser in Amnesia Ibiza in 2010, that's why everyone's of their face in there!

    I'd pay 7 pound a pint to sit and watch good quality guff all day.

    I'm now minted. And having a mid life crisis.
