Confused - it says it's a Fullers pub on the boarding outside but inside the menus and decor don't bear it out. Only London Pride on handpull. Pleasant enough pub if a little pricey.

Nice enough Fullers pub. The Pride was well kept. Pale Ale also available. Not too sure about the trendy plastic chairs and decor, but it's not so bad that it drives you out.

A delightful establishment, the bar staff were a joy, particuarly the young the glass collector, I believe was called Mike, who was very 'accomodating' and pleasant, ensuring all my dirty glasses were collected swiftly as soon as my drink had finished - top service all round!

A lovely pub for a few low key pints. Can be disupted by the local Rahs playing their Rugby Boy/Boarding School games, but this cannot reflect on the pub as a whole.
The beer is well kept, the food resonable and staff friendly. A special mention has to go to Mickey, the delightful and charming glass collector who should be promoted to landlord! Professional and georgous to boot! I will be back . . .

Elegant old premises as others describe, with a young and smart clientele.
Charming enough though rather noisy.
The night I was there the London Pride had run out and there was only ESB, which then ran out - so I have the feeling this is one of those pubs with dwindling demand for real ale, leading to not ordering it, leading to....no real ale.
Also it is a little steep - £3.70 a go for the bottled ale after the run-out.

Cool pub this, I've been in a couple of times recently, fairly quiet during the week though, it has a nice relaxed atmosphere and the barstaff are friendly, food wasn't bad either
|
Went here for lunch and loved it so much we went back for drinks in the evening. Nicely modernised with lots of charm. Food was lovely without being overly fussy.
A nicely alternative to other local pubs and bars.

Went in for an early evening dinner last night a and liked this pub. It was empty when we walked in at about 5pm but quickly filled up.
The place is well decorated, clean and the staff were friendly. Food was outstanding (we have the mushroom, goats cheese and pesto burger) but the lager was slightly flat and a tiny bit warm,
Would go back a second time as this place is convenient but not one I would travel far for.

Popped into the Leather Exchange for the first time on my lunch with a couple of colleges, have to say it has changed since i was last there. Had a lovely swordfish steak for lunch which was washed down with a resonable priced glass of wine. I will definatly be back again.
|
We visited the leather exchange last friday night, and were amazed to find some fantastic singers performing there. What a good way to spend an evening, nice burger excellent pint of london Pride and a nice warm atmosphere.
|
Worst food I have ever eaten. I can't believe this is the same pub described. I had beef stroganoff which was a bright salmon colour, had tough chewy meat in it and all it tasted of was lots and lots of garlic.
What amazes me is that we saw the staff tucking into same dish afterwards!
My mates ate the pie which was just as bad...
|
As previously described. Excellent gastro-food (some of us beer drinkers like food as well). Well-kept Fullers beers. Excellent range of malts (especially) and wines. And quiet.
|
Indeed strangley out of place for where it is, the result of an ill-advised refurbishment by Fullers. However as is said below that doesn't stop the customers treating it like the locals' pub is should be rather than the gastro wine bar it aspires to be. Certainly worth a look if you fancy a change from the many other decent (some outstanding) choices hereabouts.
|
Feels out of place for an area which is dominated by high rise council blocks - it's food and wine orientated and not particularly cheap either. I didn't overly dislike the place, it just felt odd, more like the kind of establishment you expect to find in an up and coming area.
Having said that, it seemed full of normal pub-type customers on my visit yesterday evening, so perhaps the locals aren't put off by the yuppie feel of the place.
London Pride in good nick - but at a premium price of £ 2.70 and, all in all, being a proper-pub enthusiast, I cant see myself going here again
|
A very friendly pub that serves good food and a good range of wine. They have more whiskies than you can imagine. A good place to go for a quiet pub meal and a bottle of wine or pint of pride.

Completely agree with SE1 Local, there is no better pub for food, loopy staff, wine choice and atmosphere in London. Please remove...
