ttt - meant in the <i>nicest</i> possible way -- but you have started 13 threads researching your UK trip, and have yet to thank anyone for the nearly 150 responses (or even acknowledge you read most of them).
People do like to help -- but it really should be a two way street.

Oh, sorry sir!!! London........And thank you janisj for taking the time to count responses. If you disagree with the way I conduct myself, why would you continue to read?
I appreciate every response and respect them as well. Otherwise I would not continue to post. My appreciation certainly shows by my eager participation.
BUT for those of you needing a pat, I would like to thank each and every one of you personally: I'd like to thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you AND you.

In London, Fryer's Inn, behind Victoria Station. Google it.
I sent a friend there last week and she and her husband liked it very much. Thought the portions quite generous, but naturally said that most everything in London cost more than they had expected. Fryer's Inn was originally recommended by the late Ben Haines, who never pumped himself up or claimed to know more than he did. (Purely a praise of him. Not a comment on any current posters, I assure you.)

It's an almost iron-clad rule that fish & chips in pubs is either dreadful or poncified. Few pub kitchens really have the right equipment, or skill, though a small handful of gastropubs do OK serving slightly messed about versions that match their kitchen's capabilities. I had a dynamite tempura batter cod and chips yesterday at the Churchill Arms in Paxford - but it's not your pukka chippy.
Most (but not all) specialist sit-down chip shops - like London's North Sea Fish - either serve booze or (as with Sea Fish in Upper Street) have a BYO policy.
Takeaway is tricky. It can easily get cold by the time you get it home, or you eat as you're walking, which takes practice and can't be accompanied by beer.
All of which said, the consensus earlier in this thread that London chippies really aren't up to the best standards of decent fishing ports is quite right.
