The Anglers, Teddington

You're walking down Broom Road in Teddington and suddenly the Thames opens up before you—that's when you know The Anglers has got you. This isn't some contrived gastropub trying too hard; it's a proper local that happens to do the food bit really well. The riverside terrace is the main draw, especially when the sun's actually cooperating, but the interior's got that warm, unfussy charm that makes you want to linger over a pint. The kitchen takes seasonal British classics seriously without being precious about it, and the wine list won't bore you.
