So tired, packed full of tourists, staff need training in the beer they serve as they don't seem to know what they are serving or how to serve it. Shame as they actual had some nice Hobgoblin on tap. Won't be coming back

Omg,surely the worst pub ever to grace this planet...........cant find the words to describe the horror show that the hordes of tourists who fill up this place have to go through,this is a Taylor Walker pub who run a couple of great boozers within a few hundred yards of this toilet and how can they let this happen?
A complete and utter shithole which reminds me do not head anywhere near the loos,breathtaking.........
What must the tourists think ? ashamed to be British!

I came here 12th July 2011, and I must say, this is the worst excuse for a pub I have ever had the misfortune of drinking in. Why you may ask?
Well, first of all the beer (London Pride) was off, and served with very large head, which I must say they were efficient in replacing the pint with one of Young's Summer Gold. The Young's was however also on the way out, with a distinctive twinge of line cleaner. The head was around three fingers deep, and on request of a top up, the bar girl claimed it was 'Just that sort of beer'. Wrong. If it were a Belgian beer for example, it would be 'that sort of beer', but an English ale, with a head that large, just no. No.
I would not recommend this pub to any person. Not even to a fan of dreadfully kept Wetherspoon's beers (which Wetherspoons do a far better job of keeping their ales, despite being over a pound cheaper per pint than this dire establishment).
Simply put, the worst pub I have ever been to.

This is the worst pub I have ever been in. Beer is repeadadly off. The staff decide to serve ale with a 2 inch head, cos 'its that type of beer'. No.its not. Deeply unpleasant interior, with the worse forms of society inside. Dire pricing. Dire beer. Dire Service. Please never ever come here.

my god, the only reason I have registered on this site is to warn people do not go to this place, unless you stand right at the till and wave your hands in the air you will NOT get served, with a half empty bar area we waited for 20 minutes and still didn't get served standing a few feet from the till in the middle of the bar, the 3rd time this happened the 'duty manager' who spoke no or little english told me she hadn't seen me. Come on guys just sell up or change the staff, another barmaid who did the same as the duty manager told me she didn't like the way the place was run and was hoping to leave asap, nuff said i reckon
