Another vote for Cross Keys. You can smell the khazis in the Lamb and Flag from across the street.
If you like Belgian beer Lowlander is worth consideration.
Basically next door to the Harp is the Marquis. I understand quite the venue for live mod tribute acts.

We have acer palmatum Ryusen in a ‘weeping’ style. Very pretty, quite small, leaves and lovely autumnal colours.
One thing to beware with acers is wind. They get scorched by windy conditions (leaves curl up and go crispy), so always good to have them protected.

Try the Lyric on Great Windmill Street. Tom Cribb ain't the worse place in the world either and is very close.

Culture is interesting but very worthy fine dining.
Verdant fish bar is tasty but small and gets incredibly busy
Likewise MINE is very small but excellent food
Star and Garter was a pub trying very hard to be more
Seaview Inn will supposedly do a pint of Bass and is a local’s choice drinking place
Pizza (and beer) at Verdant tap room in Penryn is good. Perfectly walkable from Falmouth
Good Vibes cafe did a good breakfast
A hidden gem is Provedore. Was doing breakfast/lunch but now seems to be evening small plates. The cooking was excellent. -
A list brought to you entirely by the PR department of Guinness. How many times can Guinness and Geezer be shoehorned into a piece.

Stormbird and Hermits in Camberwell. The real ale and the craft beer on opposite sides of the road.
If you wanna do the full real ale experience, The Hope in Carshalton is probably the best in London. At least CAMRA think so. Depending on when your mate is arriving there’s often a beer festival on there.

The Old Red Cow makes me so sad. It’s horrible now when it used to be brilliant.
Second on the Old Fountain. Or try the Hand and Shears just one street further back from the Old Red Cow. It had cask Bass on a few weeks back.

Best no/low brewery right now.
Strong start to a Christmas morning!
De Struise don't miss on the hardcore imperial stouts, but other sources of strong gear are Alesmith Speedway Stout (more difficult to find in the UK lately) and Old Chimneys Good King Henry. Get it while you can as well: The Kernel's Imperial Brown Stout.
