Pretty quiet when I popped in for a pint yesterday, but service was friendly and te beer in good condition. Pride or Broadside on offer. Decent enough if I'm in the area.

Now serving just one real ale, Youngs Special, permanently, but give me that in good condition (which is what it was) anyday over two sh*te beers. At £2.66pt for a 4.5% beer, it's good value for the area. Friendly barstaff.

Another quick pitstop for lunch, the staff were nice but some of the clientelle were a little rough. Might depend on the day and whatever's happening at Olympia as earlier in the week this place was quiet and refined.

Food looked ok and beer was slightly cheaper than some other outlets in the area. Music/MTV playing but wasn't too intrusive.

Methinks this might compete with the Albion as my local of choice...

Has always had a rather cold atmosphere, with some rather dubious characters amongst the clientele and disinterested bar staff. Having said that, they usually have a couple of real ales on if you happen to be escaping from an exhibition or just waiting for a train/tube from the nearby Kensington Olympia station. Reasonable pint of Morrissey Fox Mulled Ale had today.

having found no real ale at the Albion, we retired to the Beaconsfield and found London Pride (and Greene King IPA),,Cask Marque Accredited and pints voluntarily topped up too. It's an airy place with good provision for outdoor seating and certainly served its purpose on the way back to Olympia station!
