Hello RGL fans! The update is a bit late this week, but then it will need to get you through next week too, thanks to the joys of Croydon Fun Weekend! If you don't know Croydon Fun Weekend, then why not go to Croydon and have fun?

Le Delice, Ladywell, London SE13

So last time I did an update, the featured article was Deli Felice. Well this week, it's a cafe called Le Felice, SE13 7UZ in leafy Ladywell. Expect French food, bare boards, wooden chairs, and a pleasant environment to do some work. Also, it's in a former pub building.

Our one new addition is Brown and Green, a cafe at Crystal Palace station. You may need extra cranberry.

There's a significant update to the entry for The Liberty Bounds, a Wetherspoons at Tower Hill which has true pies.

Finally, The Beagle by Hoxton station has closed! Or it may have closed! We're not exactly certain.

Handpumps at the Bree Louise, Euston

This week is that week when the Good Beer Guide is released, so we can add all the new Good Beer Guide 2014 pubs, which Kake and bob have been diligently adding, helped by a few others. I shan't try to sum up the views of our sterling reviewers (you should read the entries to find out their favourites), so here is a list of those with new entries in RGL as a result:

In the centre:
* The Chamberlain (Aldgate EC3);
* The Exmouth Arms (Clerkenwell EC1);
* The Hung, Drawn and Quartered (Tower Hill EC3);
* The Sun (Covent Garden WC2); and
* The White Swan (Covent Garden WC2).

In the North:
* The Bohemia (North Finchley N12) [PS already closed! BOO!];
* The Bull (Highgate N6);
* The Charlotte Despard (Archway N19); and
* The Stag and Hounds (Lower Edmonton N9).

In the East:
* The Bell (Walthamstow E17)
* The Duke's Head (Walthamstow E17); and

In outer London postcodes:

* The Three Tuns (Uxbridge UB8);
* The Windermere (North Wembley HA9); and
* The Woodman (Farnborough BR6).

There's also a stub article for The Viaduct in Hanwell, so if anyone would like to visit and let us know how it is, why not do that? We'll get along eventually, I'm sure.

One other pub addition, not in the GBG, is The Change of Horses in Farnborough, which is upmarket traditional. If you're going to go all the way to Farnborough you might as well try a couple of pubs, eh?

Reported closures, are, er, the Bohemia (see above). It was a nice pub, I hope it will be back... :(

There are significant updates to the entries for The Red Lion in Isleworth, The Portrait in Sidcup, and Ye Olde Whyte Lyon in Farnborough.

There is a temporary closure for The Pilot Inn, a wonderful and lonely pub in North Greenwich. Meanwhile, The Gate vegetarian restaurant in Hammersmith has reopened.
