And yes, M.E and Suzie's is a great stop. Their taps are limited, but they do offer three beers that are made exclusively for them by Better Bitters. They also have a decent selection of bottles and offer great food. Each time I've been, the chef has come out see how we liked the food.
Edit- Ohh and I agree with everything that Mike said.
Except you really have to enter Chaucer's with bated breath. I went only a few days ago, and the only interesting beers were Mill Street. They don't even have the Brooklyn Lager on tap anymore.
With all that said, London is sort of becoming a great beer destination!

You're right Len. The beer selection has drastically declined ever since Milos left, and these days I find that Chaucer's is very 'off and on.' Every other visit I really enjoy myself, but on several recent occasions I've been severely disappointed. Still, last time I went they had Maredsous 6/8/10, Chimay Blue, Floreffe Dubbel, St. Bernardus 12/Tripel/Wit, Southern Tier Porter, Brooklyn Lager, and Railway City for bottles, with Palm Export, Hacker Pschorr Gold, Tankhouse, and Caledonian 80 on tap. That's not too shabby. Their big problem is they tend to run out of things (they didn't have Victory Prima when I ordered it) and the servers often do last call long before the bar's stated closing hours.

Yeah, I noticed a steady decline at Chaucer's when I lived in London. I can understand being out of the special imports sometimes, but they often brought out completely different beers than what was ordered (when you were lucky enough to get service).
Chancey Smith's is definitely the place now. I'm really excited to have some drinks there while visiting friends Thursday. If any BTers are there, say hi (I'll be the young whippersnapper taking tasting notes).

Probably be at Chancey's for 8:30 until my friends start complaining about having school/work the next day (or we have drunken arguments involving Dewey vs. Library of Congress. That's when you know it's time to shut it down)
