Decided to watch the game tonight in the pub tonight and am looking for a real dedicated blues pub. Anyone know of one?

Did a google and found the blue anchor in clarkenwell but wanted to draw on first hand experience from you lot?

So there's 2 pubs or just the anchor? If there's two you reckon the city pride is a better bet?

There is no such thing as a proper blues pub in London on account of all the proper blues living in Manchester.
