Popped in last saturday when in London. Quiet in the afternoon. Barmaid very pleasant and nice drop of Bishops Finger

Having only discovered this pub within the last year I have visited several times and make a point of going there when I am in the area. This a lovely pub - good beer; food & staff. Live entertainment is an added bonus. The only drawback is that it is a bit small to cater for its (deserved) popularity.

It took a while for me to be served in here as it was very busy for a Monday night with a large student contingent. I noticed that there is an upstairs bar and a downstairs function room so maybe some event had just finished or was about to start or maybe there is a university nearby as I didn’t think that much of the pub for it to deserve to be this rammed.

It’s a Shepherd Neame house that had four ales off leaving only Bishop’s Finger along with the usual Neame draught. Thankfully the Guinness was ok even if the barman was a little preoccupied in talking to the clientele whilst making a half arsed attempt to serve me.

I would walk past this pub if I was passing again.

Came across this pub for the first time last night and could not drink up and leave fast enough. Appears to be full of "trendy" city types pretending to be media types. Heaving with smarmy smug wannabe "scenesters".

I've walked past this place for years and years; it used to be a right old shit hole, full of Guardian journalists. Now thankfully they have all gone North to King's Cross and the charmless, modernized wasteland, leaving this pub to be taken over and improved by Sheperd Neames. Marvellous!
