This is a really, really good place, exactly what a London pub should be - and credit to the staff for that. Their secret? Well, they appear to be welcoming us into their 'home'. Simple really. Chain pubs please take note.

Good beer, excellent Acts upstairs, great juke-box and reassuringly shabby decor. Any thoughts of a makeover should be resisted.

Has a really nice atmosphere now. Mixed crowd and the staff are really friendly and happy to serve you - a pleasant change from the horror that is the Alwynne Castle down the road.

I've noticed this pub for years but never went in it before last Friday. For some reason I thought it would be a dive. However, it isn't a dive. It's a very nice, cosy pub with quite a cool 'arty' feel. This well cared-for late Victorian, possibly Edwardian pub even looks nice on the outside, so I don’t know what I was thinking.

Good atmosphere, cosy and candlelit and very friendly and helpful barmaid. Very cheering on a miserable February day.

Really quite this place met up with a very large group of friends (50 ish). The staff coped brilliantly, the food was lovely, and the candles gave a really nice feel to the place.
The gents are basic, but clean, the ladies apparently have some very interesting artwork!
