Bland, inoffensive modern bar space within an older corner pub building. Respectable and reasonable, but nothing to attract any interest. 3 casks available - Pride, IPA and London Pride which was flabby and unenjoyable.

"Friendly, sometimes too friendly staff"

Crikey, only in London, eh. What kind of pretentious @rse complains about service being too friendly.

Smallish corner pub that looks like a typical London classy boozer at first sight. Can get crowded, and is noisy with conversation even when not so full. Pub is deep enough for two layers of tables (plus a few outside on the pavement). Tables closest to windows are normal sized, but those nearer to the bar are higher, and have stools. One one corner there are a couple of plush sofas. Many tables have a stange metal plate on top in the middle.

Three real ales were on during my visit, Green King, plus two others. One from Sharps in Cornwall, and one from Gales. Seemed to be well kept.

Food is served till 9pm, though I didn’t see many people actually eating. Menu appeared to be mainly burgers, with a couple of specials. I had chicken curry, which was very nice, but seemed to consist of 90% rice !!

Football being shown on TV can attract corwds even when it is a meaningless friendly.

Will definitely visit again – hopefully when it’s a bit quieter - 7/10

Would it kill them to provide a bit of carpet or upholster the chairs? Maybe all those "solicitors and media folk" enjoy re-living the discomforts of their public school days in these barebones, arse, ear and foot-ache inducing wine bars. Is this the "nice contemporary twist" they are talking about? Seriously, check out the blurb posted in the pub description above.

It appeared to me as if someone had taken a rather promising looking London corner pub and systematically stripped out everything of interest and tradition, replacing it with an ersatz European style cafe.

Go there if you like, I am sure that it appeals to many, but I won't drink there as I can't escape from the conclusion that the owners and management are patronising vandals.

I get here every two months or so on a sort of work cycle and the consistency of the pub is really good. Had leaving drinks here for a mate and we are always looked after. This visit I had fisn n chips and lots of real ale.....what a London Pub should be...well done to all.
