The Shakespeare, Victoria

Well, seems that some people didn't understand my last post about this establishment. People may look at it like just another rough-ish pub by a station (a hub pub). Take your time and look closer and you will be pleasantly surprised, what you will find, if you just try, is a pub where the lonely find friendship, the sad solace, the confused answers, the junkys drugs. Where the rich and poor rub shoulders and share a drink after waiting an age to get them, where no one cares about your colour or creed, all are equal. At worst people will say its a 'Social experiment gone hideously wrong'. But I personally think it is the closest thing on earth to 'Utopia'.

And if you think thats sarcastic then i will change my user name to Professor Sarcastic Mikey Monkey Balls

The Shakespeare, Victoria

I can�t believe what I have read on this sham of a website, The Shakespeare is one if not the best pub I�ve gone to in London, the beer is generally nearly cold and comes in glasses, which are more often than not clean, and the staff are professional and at least one of them behind the bar at any given time can speak English and almost knows how to pour a drink. Know one seems to have mentioned the live music policy on Fridays which, I can honestly say, is like nothing I have heard before. It is safe due to the usual Police presence outside, with tremendous rail links.
I�m fed up with the snobbery on this site and would like to applaud The Shakespeare (aka Shaka-la-ka-boom-boom) for the numerous (twice in three weeks) drinking experience. You guys rock!
