OK for a quick pint after getting off train, but would avoid weekends, when it's seriously chaved up with groups of plonkers strutting their stuff looking for trouble.

Station pub with a lot of rush hour commuter trade. In the evenings, it's full of noisey kids.
No cask ales but the Ruddles keg wasn't bad and at £2:15 a pint affordable.

Have had some half decent nights in here but I'd put that down to having good mates rather than being in a good pub! Cannot believe that a pub of this size with two large bars still can't be bothered to serve decent real ale. States outside that it's a Greene King pub, but sadly the only things attempting to be ale are IPA Smoothflow and Ruddles Smooth, both ice cold. Poxy. Come on guys, you really could do better.

The bar prices are also very steep, considering it's not exactly a struggling backstreet local. Gets pretty packed with flat caps and tracksuits, which is never a winner really is it? Ok to visit if you need to meet your mates and they're already there, but I wouldn't bother otherwise.

A station pub can serve a valuable purpose – to ease the pain after a torrid train journey! Yet, they are of course, not solely there just for the benefits of the stressed commuter, they generally tend to have their own set of regulars and The William Camden (opposite Bexleyheath train station) is no exception. It’s a large establishment, split in two, with one having pool tables and the other having the obligatory fruit machines and plasma screens to keep those within entertained. Its quite open spaced and that doesn’t sit too well with me. It was a keg only affair at the bar, so opted for Guinness. I visited last Wednesday (19th March) around 5-ish; the bar I was in was probably half-full, though I suspect it fills up when all the London workers start to pile off the train. Overall, as station pubs go, I found it to be okay and I would stop for a beer again, yet it isn’t a place to make a specific trip too.
