London pubs - favourite (quirky, historic?) ones

[SquirmOfEels]

I need to get out more - and I mean it literally (well, possibly metaphorially as well, but that's another story) and was thinking about visiting interesting pubs, either for lunch (en famille, teenage DC) or early evening (adult) drinks.

Happy to go anywhere in London (that's kind of the point - getting out a rut)

I saw this BBC article - Tales from the bar, a tour of London's great pubs' which gave me the idea and some ones to start with.

What others could I put on the list?

In Kings X you could go to the Champagne Bar in St Pancras, right next to the Eurostar platform. It does smell of train station, which I don't mind, and the building is amazing.
OR
The bar (Rotunda) in Kings Place which is another great building and the bar is right on the canal. They also have a bit of an art gallery going on

I'm glad the Princess Louise is still there.
