This is a pleasant, old fashioned boozer tucked round the back of Fleet Street, away from all the tourist traps. Quiet when I was there but I got the definite impression that it enjoys a loyal following from the obvious regulars dotted around the single bar. Beer was very nice - St Austell Tribute, Bombardier and IPA and the staff friendly. Would definitely come back. If only all the other chain pubs round here were like this one !

Splendid interior and a very cosy atmosphere. In my view this is the best pub in the immediate vicinity although the beer selection (Pride, Bombardier and GKIPA IIRC) is not the most imaginative. Some London Irish memorabilia on the walls gives lie to the landlord's origins and there is a slightly incongruous TV on the cabinet at one end of the pub which was not in use when I was in.

I'd recommend a visit here if in the area.

Great little pub not to be confused with a pub of a similar name,the tourist trap up on Fleet Street (and a Sam Smith's too,yuk!)
This one is great, the licensee is a real landlord and not a plastic manager and the food is good, quick and value for dosh. Bombardier, Adnams Gun Hill and an IPA was on today, all good (Well I had to try them didn't I?)
Well worth diverting off Strand by 50 metres, past the tourist traps and luckily for us a very well-kept secret. Long may it continue!

a very good little pub, not notable for the real ales but they do indeed to a great pint of guinness! One of my favourite pubs in the area. my typical night out is to visit here the george and the edgar wallace all within 100 yards of eachother. They are all quite different but have good staff, good beers and we always have a good nights craic!

This is a pretty good pub that is hosted by a jovial Irish chap that made me feel very welcome. The same ales were available as reported by Sussexcrawler a month ago and I’ll also add that Amstel is also on offer along with a standard draught range of which the Guinness was very good.

There was a bit of back music playing and I spotted a plasma screen which was off, but there was a list of upcoming London Irish games stuck underneath it.

I liked it in here and would return.
