Quite expensive Taylor Walker pub with 3 real ales, London Pride, GK and Landlord. Quality OK.

Lived around the corner from this one in the 80s. Wasn't really my local, but when lazy would pop in each week.

They made it much larger when they blew out the glass wall which is a shame. Went in mid October on a Sunday reading the papes. Not bad. Very open and no problem with the barmaids. It didn't feel like a local like it used to be though (previous posting with the tourists). I think having all those tourists tours etc around the area bring them in. Not bad, but noting to go outta the way.

Nipped in here the other day after an afternoon in Hyde Park,

Was met by a very rude and surly barman, £4 a pint and £8 a chip sandwich.

How ridiculous.

Pubs alright, perfectly sittable, but the lager was poor and the food was way too pricey. Bar man really set a bad atmosphere for me.

Oh dear I didn't know this was a Spirit pub until I entered. What a pity - great location, nice decor, friendly staff - all one could ask for really.

I have been in here on previous London visits and found it decent if nothing else could be found. This past weekend I stopped in with family and was looking forward to a pint after a long walk through museums and Hyde Park. We went in and found GK and LP- oh well, not any of my favorites but...

ordered an LP and found it was off and the only real ale was GK. Ok, I guess but disappointed anyway. We ordered a Ploughman's lunch as a snack, as we missed lunch and didn't want to spoil dinner. The lunch was quite nice, with excellent cheddar, ham and fruit. The baguette was microwaved, so it was like a steamed hot dog roll. All in all though, the food was the best part of the visit.
