In place of some waffle on about how user-generated content is transforming the web, it's the future of media, etc...I'm going to be honest. There are two reasons why I want you to tell me what you think are the best pubs to get a drink in London after 11:
1. I don't know that many myself.
2. I'm lazy.
I can't build up a decent database of late-night pubs by myself. So if you know of any, send in your reviews, or ask me if you can become a contributor to the blog. And I'll probably let you.
Criteria? Each establishment must be:
1. Open at least one night of the week after 11pm.
2. Within the M25.
3. Free to get in.
SUBMIT!

The Late Night London Pub Manifesto
Considering London is one of the world's biggest and most vibrant cities, it's surprisingly difficult to get a drink anywhere after 11pm.
Of course, there are innumerable clubs and bars to choose from in the early hours, but we're talking PUBS. Real ale. Somewhere to sit and chat. Maybe the odd bit of food. A grouchy landlord. A taciturn landlady. An indefinable and slightly unpleasant musty smell. Why should we pub-lovers be denied the chance to drink in the places we like until the clubs close at 3am, 4am, or later even?
This blog will be a resource for those who wish to do just that.
I'll be open-minded, though; if a place calls itself a bar, I'll allow its inclusion, as long as it's free to get in, and not shit. Seems fair, no?
