This is an ok pub, gets very busy with a mix of hospital staff, commuters, tourists staying in the area and some locals. Reasonably priced food and a good place to meet if you are going to or coming from Paddington station

Depressing, tired looking staff. Service with a sigh. There's about four pubs within 400 metres of it that are about 300 times as deserving of your hard earned cash. Has been a while since I drank there so possibly the management has changed. Convenient proximity to a large hospital with it's staff and first (and probably only) time visits from the tourists staying in the surrounding hotels probably keeps the place going.

An OK place for a pint if you're waiting for a train. Looks good from the outside, looks OK inside, but is full of people who are either waiting for a train or those who are completely lost. The odd tourist here and there staying in cheap hotels in the area.
I can't ever imagine going here unless I was waiting for a train.

Attractive exterior, reasonably interesting interior, but otherwise a typical large anonymous London pub.

It's listed as a Cask Marque pub but on my quick visit the beer was far too cold and the selection really boring. Since my main purpose in going to a pub is to drink beer, this is not one I'll revisit in a hurry.

A rare occurrence this walked in and walked straight through - stank of sour stale beer and filled with depressed looking people filling in time - joyless, depressing and smelly - AVOID!
