Other than a few people sitting at the tables outside there was no one in here when I arrived mid evening a fact that may be explained by the loud music being played inside. The pub is a spacious affair split into two sections by a doorway near the corner. The plethora of external doors may indicate that it was further split in times past.

I'm not a big fan of loud music in pubs so had my pint and left. I might come back here in a group but that would be about it particularly given some of the competition nearby.

I liked this pub although it was pretty empty compared to the other pubs in the area during my visit. The barman was approachable and turned the music down on my request. There is a TV that was showing Sky Sports and a pool table that the only other people in the pub were playing on. I counted four ale pumps, three of which were serving up Pride and the other was unused, along with the usual suspect lagers and Bulmers.

If it was in another area it would probably be the best pub around, but it doesn’t really stand out from its peers even though it is open until midnight at the weekends. That said I still liked it and would go back, if only to play pool.

I meant "correct" not "incorrect" - d'oh.

Not sure it merits the 7+ average rating but this is, as someone else said, a "decent, unpretentious, locals' pub". An interesting layout, with two rooms connected by a doorway and - if my counting was incorrect - about four or five different doors to the pub! Ale-wise there were four pumps, disappointingly all serving Pride (which I didn't try on this occasion) - but I suspect this may be more of a lager-drinker's pub.

Decent, unpretentious pub with a relaxed atmosphere and spacious feel due to the high ceilings. Serves a nice pint of London Pride and two other real ales.
