    .....he threw a few ideas into the hat, I've checked a few reviews out on the internet. The alarm bells started ringing when one of the reviews was "Under a fiver a pint here! Awesome". While I'm always happy to pay for a pint of really good ale, is under a fiver really such a rarity in London?!

    No. I would object to paying £4.

    In Sheffield £3 seems about the norm for excellent local craft, £3.50 tops.

    I can't work out why we have the pubs to the west of Wembley. Surely Oxford fans will get the train to Paddington and then tube to Wembley Central??

    It's probably because we have the West side of the stadium

    Last time I was in London I went for a beer with the engineer who'd come with me. I ordered two bottles of Peroni and got a tenner out with little expectation of getting much change. I didn't get any change in fact I had to get more money out because it was more than a tenner. Rip off city.

    I'm a fan of the Pure Brewed lager and Nut Brown Ale myself.

    Hahaha! And that's before anyone has seen how much the fish and chips cost at Wembley! Nearly a tenner in the cup semi I seem to remember, and that was eight years back. Nice escalators though.

    I would use the overground than the underground, which will be crowded, from Paddington.

    Went to The Salisbury in Covent Garden after Leyton Orient... something like £12.50 for two pints of Peroni. That said it's a fiver for a pint of Erdinger in a pub in Holmfirth too! The Lamb and Flag and Roundhouse in Covent Garden are nice pubs, bit cheaper too!

    It's at least £5 for a pint of Erdinger in most places in the UK mate.
