Absolutely appalling. There was only one real ale on, very average London Pride served up as well short of a pint, as was the norm here during our visit. A Top Up was given but only after a display of truculence or dumb insolence by the bar maid. All the staff are pretty awful, headed up by an Australian was seems to have been trained for the Six O'Clock Swill trade that used to apply down under.

We were in the downstairs bar where the door to the pub yard was open, a truly filthy hole it is too. The pub is not clean and I certainly would never consider eating here. The toilets stink and the blocked WC shows you lots of toilet paper and faeces.

Avoid.

Interior reminiscent of the Argyll Arms in Oxford Circus (best thing going for it). Staff really could do better.

Truly awful service, to the point where we left. The barmaid forgot one drink and brought two of another, beers were well short of a pint, then managed to short change us as well. I could chalk it up to a one off if we'd been the only ones there with a problem, but another group walked out in disgust shortly before we did, letting the bar staff know as they did so. The landlord took the opportunity not to calm the situation down, but to harass them. Completely unprofessional, and best avoided unless you want to laugh at how poor customer service can be.

Very, very average pub. There are a lot of worse pubs in London, and there are a lot of better pubs as well.

I suppose a good reason for going would be just to see what a truly typical pub is like and then being able to use it as a yardstick for all hostelries visited after that.

The Paxtons Head is tucked away on Knightsbridge out of sight of the main drag and hence suffers less from the tourist influx than some other pubs nearby. It has an impressive wood and etched glass interior that makes it a pleasant drinking environment. A large flatscreen TV hangs on the rear wall.

Ales were split between the regulars - Pride, Youngs London Gold and Tribute and the guests which on my visit were Stonehenge Pigswill and Okell Red. I would imagine there is something here to interest most hopheads.

Environment was ok - at lunchtime it was still a bit dominated by tourists eating fish and chips but it is better in the evening after the shops have shut
