Hmmm....those nasty old junkies and their vagabond ways. Still, they've always got a light if you need one, and at least they pick on decent pubs to do their best Fagin impersonations. You never see them outside All Bar One now do you?

Back to the point

Pleasant pub, lovely interior which takes you back to ye olde days when pubs were low-lit, musty, but also enjoyable venues. Beer selection is actually poor but those they do stock are reasonable enough. Not sure I agree about the bar staff - they seemed reasonable enough and while not biting my hand off to give useful tit-bits in life (try going to Dorset, they'll give you a life story in some of those pubs!!!!) were efficient.

I don't go here for the beer really, more for just a nice calm surrounding away from the madness of Covent Garden, and it did exactly as I hoped - chilled out pint with the missus, then on to Covent Garden for the madness therein.

nice little pub, the only trouble is if you sit outside you run the risk of getting accousted by junkies panhanderling for money and cigarettes, which is a nuisence. Their is some interesting pop memorbilia on the walls

Decent enough but shame about the staff who resemble bulldogs chewing wasps with attitudes to match.

I stopped here for lunch whilst on a training course nearby, and was pleasantly surprised. Good beer, superb sandwiches, and excellent service. A London pub as it should be.
