The pricing has absolutely gone mental if you want to drink a pint in London. At this point pubs should show a price list for drinks otherwise we should normalise asking the price before getting a drink.
For the record, £7.54 was for a pint of Camden Hells at The World’s End in Camden. It used to be my favourite place but I don’t think I would go again with these prices.

London’s so expensive all round. I’m a bar manager of a very small award winning micropub in Kent and our cask pints are all around ~£4.40.

I’m pretty sure that’s a legal requirement already – the prices just might be on a small plaque somewhere
Ordered two large glasses of wine at Christmas and was charged £25 at a pretty ordinary pub near me.
Have since gone sober and saved myself about a mortgage payment every month 🙃
Go to Edinburgh, even more expensive than London
Is this from an App??
Who orders anything anywhere without knowing the price?
Worlds end is a peak tourism pub. You should expect to pay that.
Am I the only one not surprised by this anymore. In popular parts of London (Camden) the expectation is that you’ll pay 6.50-8 a pint so I’m not sure why anyone else thinks it would be different.
If you think of over head costs, rent, insurance, wages, energy – they’ve all shot up so that all gets passed on in turn so it’s hardly shocking at this point
Camden = tourist trap
Totally changed from what it used to be
Crumbs. Now wonder people buy back. Just bought 3x Hobgoblin 500ml bottles for £4.77.
You went to the biggest tourist pub in Camden Town lol, should of gone to Quinn’s round the corner 5min walk and it’s a fiver
I somehow paid £17 in here for a double g&t
IANAL, but AIUI the government removed the explicit requirement to show prices some years ago, in favour of some woolly worded stuff about making the information available (ie behind a beware of the leopard sign or whatever).
