Ooh, someone else pointed me at that recently; can't remember who though.

I assume there's more data somewhere giving more details of each pub than
just the raw scores?  Is there a way to get to that from the map?

Could it be made to give the names of Tube stations in the more zoomed-out
views as well as the more zoomed-in ones?  There's location data here
(scroll to the bottom) if it won't let you do that without adding the data
yourself:

The search doesn't seem to work: I entered "SE16" in the box, clicked "Go!",
and nothing happened apart from "Transferring data from maps.yahooapis.com..."
appearing in the status bar.  I waited for 2 minutes (I did actually time
it) and then got fed up waiting.  Same result when searching for "Bermondsey".
