Texas James 

The Dove on Upper Mall is a very special place. I spent a few hours there when I arrived at the nearby William Morris Society early - before public touring hours. I sat on the balcony and watched the sailboats and rowboats glide along the Thames while drinking a nice "bitter." Loads of history and a friendly staff.

Time to share your top tips. The best greasy spoons, off-the-beaten track local boozers, hotspots for dancing till dawn...the list is endless.
