Journalist — London pubs and bars; London history and geography.
bylined writer on Londonist's Best Pubs in London microsite, where the format is a visit-based verdict rather than a listing. Her Cask Pub and Kitchen piece is honest about the room against its own interest, which is the tell that separates a review from a plug: "From the outside, you'd never guess the treasures that lurk within... you're not immediately struck with wonder by the relatively spartan, decidedly not-cosy furnishings."
Their own reviews and picks.
Their own judgment, in their own words, by the piece it appeared in.

“The drinks choice is exemplary, a good half dozen casks and kegs, many produced locally, and even a pump for perry.”

“Given its slightly off-the-beaten-track location in the residential back-streets between Angel and Canonbury, it's surprising how busy this pub can get. At popular times, beer geeks flock from far and wide to hang out here.”

- Cask Pub & KitchenPimlico
“Ten hand pumps serve beer from British microbreweries. Now, we drink a lot of beer, and hadn't encountered any of these tipples before.”
