I mean, obviously if you had asked this question 15 years ago the answer would be very different but the Hackney/dalston gaffs have been taken over by the ghastlies.
Generally I have always hated pub crawls, no objection to 3 pubs in a night, but walking in, drinking a pint quickly and then moving on has always been shite
Belsize Park to Chalk Farm to Camden was quite a nice walk then stagger down the hill and by the time you get to Camden it seems like a good idea to be there! Its many, many years since I have done that though and not sure whether there are still decent drinking pubs in Belsize Park and Chalk Farm.
Thing is, half way thru a pub crawl in South London you will want to poke your own eyes out and feel you have failed at existence irredeemably, whereas half way round a crawl in PH or Marylebone or NH or at a push Barnsbury you will feel you have bottled lightning and are going to rule the world from your table.
I just looked at Connaught Square on Streetview and there's a building that is completely blurred out, and you are blocked from going past it in navigation
Richmond is a top pub crawl. Proper boozers, country-style pubs and gastro types all within a 20 minute wander with some nice views of the park and the river. Got to be 15 or more.
not only do u have a decent collection of half a dozen pubs or more, some v v nice, u could actually literally crawl between them and it wouldn’t take too long for one night
There are loads of good options, but the answer depends on where all the participants live and what time of day you're doing it.
Richmond is great for an afternoon pub crawl, but if people are coming from the burbs, particularly North of That London, they can probably get to Prague quicker.
Richmond, is in the LONDON Borough of Richmond. You do know how it came about that certain places whilst were and are in London , have non London postcodes , like Kingston and Richmond came about ??
Richmond, but haven't drunk there for ages. Wimbledon. The village itself also if you're willing to go up the hill. 2/3 stops on the bus. 200 and the 94(?); not sure about the latter.
My taste in beer has changed, too, having lived in continental Europe. Blonde beers. Can't stomach 'brown' beers and English ales any more.

Depends on the crowd/mood obviously. Highbury and Stoke Newington offers a good range (old man, Gastro, beards and micro brewery ale).
We sometimes do a mini one in Highgate around xmas that is quite nice on a not too cold (and definitely not wet) day.

If you do greenwich you can turn a cabin of Boris' white elephant cable car into a pub and slam a couple of cans on a round trip.

Putney or Richmond
York has the most pubs per square mile i think

You can do a good one in Camberwell (tho sadly The Bear is being refurbed)
Old Dispensary -> Joiners -> Grove -> Crooked Well -> Tiger -> Hermits -> Stormbird
The latter two will let you bring in food - you have several options for this just next door.
Buses go from Camberwell Green more or less everywhere.

and if you wanted posher food add The Camberwell Arms (same people as The Anchor by Waterloo and the Canton Arms)

PH or Marylebone or NH or at a push Barnsbury
These are great if you want to be surrounded by bankers, city lawyers, Tony Blair and ex-pats. That doesn't really feel like a pub crawl.

Spose you could go to Camden at the end if you're pissed enough to make bad life choices.

you could do quite a good pub crawl in Islington but I'm pretty sure I've given you the details of that before
you could also do a good one around Broadway Market/London Fields/Vicky park
maybe peckham/east dulwich though less sure about that

nobody in their 40s should do pub crawls. FFS, you want to find a nice pub with good company and sit down and sink ale in a relaxed fashion

That W7 one is a good call. Crouchie not what it was, sadly. The Fullback garden is pretty cramped, being on the roof. Else good.

Stamford Brook to Hammersmith:
Start at the Raven Arms, then
Carpenter's Arms
The Black Lion
The Old Ship
The Dove
The Rutland Arms
The Blue Anchor
then into Hammersmith, maybe the RAMor the Stonemason's or similar.

The Camberwell one sounds good, I’ve pretty much done it a few times. The Bear though has been “under refurbishment” since about 2018.
I would want to end up in the Tiger for maximum chaos.
