Small, low-ceilinged, attractive old pub with plenty of stained glass and leaded windows. Two hand pumps and the London Pride was in good nick despite my being their first customer of the day. Don’t imagine it’s a big sports pub but they do have a couple of screens and were happy to put the rugby on when a group of guys dropped in on their way to Twickenham for the England v Ireland game.

I also felt let down with this pub, mind i visited before Christmas as well so sounds like it has improved.Promises a lot from the outside but as CambridgeBlue said drab inside! and hardly an all "singing and dancing" barmaid not that she has much room for dancing and her surroundings hardly made her want to burst into song.Mind you the day was"nt a complete loss as in the nearby Newman Passage is the Lamppost that can be seen in the end credits of Minder!(Well little things and all that )

OK gave this place a second try the saturday after christmas.
Slightly better selection of Ales and they have fixed the loo but still a little drab inside.
You May do better walking a little further down the road.

Not sure what to make of this pub. From the oustide its all "come in and have a nice traditional ale" Once inside its a bit of a let down. Nothing really exciting on tap and not a really welcoming feel from the bar staff.

I've known this place for a long time, and I'm very sad to see the state it's in now.
It used to be a little haven of peace and sanity in the ocean of crap that the West End has always been, but now...
It still looks the same, but the current management really don't get it. [Why are bad publicans always such bloody conformists?]
The pub's been infested by a plague of loud, bad piped music, mostly very old very cheap disco tracks that even in their long-ago heyday would have been dismissed as garbage, and now belong in some kind of museum of ancient horrors; all played at an excessive level of volume that makes any kind of communication difficult, and serious conversation almost impossible.
Instead of relaxing for an hour or two with a nice restoring pint, you come out much sooner than you intended, seething with rage at the stupid insensitivity of it, and looking desperately for somewhere else to go. A bad time like this you can have almost anywhere in a jerkoff town...
