| Completely packed on a Friday night with a mixture of people, from the middle-aged enjoying the real ales to the students knocking back the jagerbombs, a great building to have a beer in. Abteilung - 4 Feb 2012 15:08 |
| Rather grand JDW pub and only standing room only on this Friday night. I think the beers had been hit hard with numerous pumpclips turned round - GK IPA & Abbott available of course. I tried the Cottage Tornado and Itchen Valley Hampshire Rose; both were in good nick. Booze_Allen - 4 Feb 2012 14:56 |
| Indeed a very impressive conversion of the kind Tim Martin and co do very well. No expense spared. The interior is airy and spacious, and perhaps feels more contemporary than one might expect from the lavish neo-Classical frontage. In truth the experience at this pub can't be considered that memorable; it does a lot of things right like ale variety and quality, but is essentially the standard Wetherspoon package. Saying that, there are perhaps fewer unkempt and bedraggled-looking characters drinking here than in many of the chain's outlets in less-affluent locations. But my experience is that the Knight's is not populated by lawyers and toffs either. Clearly they deem a JDW hostelry to be beneath them and choose to quaff their wines and spirits in more rarefied, dearer venues. No loss really - personally I don't want my pubs full of posh types any more than I want them cluttered by dossers! TWG - 28 Aug 2011 17:19 |
| Splendid 'Spoons conversion of an old bank. I had one of the beers from Nethergate which was top class. I couldn't understand why a splendid place like this wasn't as busy as the other pubs in this Legal area where the beer was £1 a pint dearer - what does that say about the drinkers round here?

| As Wetherspoons pubs go, this is a very good one. Lovely interior, the toilets are among the best in London and the beer although more expensive than in most W'spoons pubs due to the location is still very much a bargain, as well as generally in good condition. During the current beer festival it has also been changing regularly giving plenty of choice. Pity it no longer opens at 7 a.m. as it used to be a good place for an early coffee.
