Apple juice and mineralwater or soda. Not too sweet.
Have you tried Becks Alcohol free?
German style alcohol free beers are great.

You can also buy little (like 20ml or so) bottles of gin/whisky/etc flavouring. They are sold with the idea you infuse them into vodka to make your own cheap spirits.
What you can also do, since they're very very concentrated, is add just one or two drops to a glass of ginger ale or tonic water to get a rough approximation of a G&T or whatever. I tried a gin one a while ago and it was actually OK.
The bottles are so small you might consider them acceptable to carry one in your jacket pocket and I don't think it would cause issues in a pub. Could be worth a look anyway.

Another vote for Lime and Soda, very refreshing if it's hot and sweaty in the pub.
An alternative if you don't want anything too sweet, Soda water and Bitters. Most bars have a bottle of Angostura lurking on the back somewhere. It does have alcohol in it but you use so little it won't notice.
These are good, but not sure if a pub would have them. Home - Bottle Green

Ginger beer. Or lime and soda. Got bite and not sickly sweet.
Carbonated mineral water is also nice, especially with a slice of lemon.

@OP - Big Tom is pretty nice and available in supermarkets.
Although obviously so is Tomato Juice, Tabasco plus Lee&Perrins
"Real" lemon based drinks are pretty good too - PLJ is a decent brand
Waitrose also do nice squashes, can't think of the brand but it comes in Green glass bottles.
Pubs and Restaurants are more of a problem
The only things I can drink in any quantity on an evening out are alcohol free lagers and coffee but you can imagine how popular I am when I order coffee in a busy town pub on a Saturday night

I drink either grapefruit juice or tonic water. In a restaurant, I'd have just water - except Chinese or Indian restaurants where I'll have green tea or chai.
