Had exactly the same experience in a Covent Garden pub recently. Popped in, saw a single line of Doombar, explained to the staff why I was leaving, and popped out again.
Luckily in London you are rarely far from a pub serving something interesting (or just not Doombar, Pride or Landlord) at a sensible price.
Found a cracking sub £6 pint of Sussex Best round the corner.
The soft boycott resonated with me. I never see Bass in London, but like yourselves, I would make an exception for it (but never for BrewDog).
I guess my exception is Hophead, even though it’s Asahi now and has had its ABV lowered for tax reasons. I don’t suppose I’ll be much use when the Blackshirts knock on the door.
I've never been pursued by the landlady, but I did pop in and immediately leave an earthy pub in Eastwood the other month when it failed to have the promised Bass on the bar.

A good read.
