I found this a rather better pub than the average mark indicates.

Its most noteworthy feature is the exterior and interior. Both look to be unspoilt since their original installation, which I would speculate would have been in the 1930s - it almost has an art deco look but perhaps a bit more modern. The wood-panelled interior looks again to be original. I'd be entirely unsurprised if this is on the CAMRA Regional Inventory.

As to the pub itself, I quite liked it: it had the feel of a family run local which is unusual to say the least in central London. Two ales, as others have said, and I thought my Hog's Back T.E.A. was quite well served. I would return.

I found the landlady in here to be nice enough and my pint of Pride was good. As mentioned in previous posts, T.E.A. was also available alongside a selection of standard draught products.

There are a couple of plasma screens and a small TV and the pub shows Sky Sports and Setanta. The background music was good and at a nice level and there is also a quiz machine.

I wouldn’t go out of my way to drink here again, but would pop in if passing.

Traditional, but unremarkable street corner pub underneath an office block on the same street as, and close to, the Ship, on which I've just posted.

It's a former William Younger's house - note the unusual semi-circular iron pub sign ( visible in the photo here ) with a stags head on the corner of the wall which tells you this.

There is however none of the other usual William Younger's trademarks - eg fake Tudor exterior, patterned leaded windows - that you normally get at former Youngers pubs ( eg - Wheatsheaf in Rathbone Place, The Ship close to Holborn Tube station ).

Two real ales were available - London Pride and Hogs Back TEA, the latter being in average condition on my recent early evening visit.

The guv'nor seemed friendly and welcoming and there's obviously quite a regular crowd, which is always a good sign , which isn't often the case in central London

Whilst the interior has a reasonably traditional unmessed about with feel to it, I found this a rather ordinary, slightly uninspiring pub, and it's not high up on my list for a quick return visit.

Very average pint of TEA, and not a lot of character. OK for a 'quick one', I suppose, but don't go out of your way to visit this place on current form.

Hogs Back TEA and Pride still on tap. Plain pub, but the landlord and staff are always friendly.
