Ventured into this place during a mini crawl of the area, i thought i was not at all bad. Staff were friendly enough, beer was ok if a little boring. But in general i liked the ambience of the place and would not have propblem coming back if in the area.

I've been here dozens of times over the course of about 6 years. It hasn't changed much during that time, so presumably my comments will remain true for a few more years at least.

The interior is attractive; the staff efficient; the beer well-kept; the food is good and reasonably-priced (if you judge it by the standards of London pub-food, not by the standards your favourite restaurant); the TVs and music are never too loud; the toilets are usually clean; there's a nice open coal-fire when the weather is cold, and tables outside when the weather is warm. All in all, it's a good pub, but nothing *exceptional*.

One reviewer complained about the clientele, and it's true that people from three local places are often here: the BT Openreach offices; the British Library; and the institute for the blind. So, if you want to see and be seen in a place with trendy/attractive customers, this is perhaps not the place for you, but if you want beer, food, or somewhere to chat without being deafened by SkySports, then this is a much better pub than most of the ones I've been to in London.

oh my god!!! NO NO NO NO NO!!!
NO atmosphere at all just full of boring old beards and suits sipping real ale.
Food is disgusting if you ever get it.
Bar staff soooooooooooo ugly and boring its untrue.

I don't usually frequent GK pubs these days but popped in yesterday with a group of old work colleagues for old times sake as this used to be our local. IPA and Abbot as expected but I was surprised to find 2 guests in the form of Sambrook's Wandle Bitter and O'Hanlon's Yellowhammer. Both in excellent condition. Will pop in again if I'm in the area.

Not a bad pub, usual greene king stuff plus a guest. Food looks o.k.
A better option than O'Neills down the road or The Boot round the corner.
Better places like Mabel Tavern or Bree Louise 10 mins away.
