Above average pub with friendly service on my last visit. I'd say it's one of the better pubs in Hammersmith, particularly at the bar area. There's also an extended seating area with a pool table which feels a little more on the restaurant side. On the whole though a nice pub, certainly better than the Fire Station nearby.

This is now closed and soon to reopen as a "Japanese pub", apparently. Hmm.

The Audley, Mayfair
This is a rather nice pub. As others have said, it did not appear to be a "tourist trap" upon my visit at the weekend - despite its proximity to a number of tourist haunts.
There did not appear to be a great deal of seating; though it was a Saturday evening, so the pub was reasonably crowded. Outside the pub are a couple of tables, which would be most pleasant during summer afternoons, I imagine. Upstairs you will find an area for diners complete with a small bar - although this did not appear to be staffed on Saturday evening. This room closes at 10pm, I believe.
As JohnBonser said, there is a television, and I think unfortunately also a quiz machine - although it was tucked out of the way in the corner near the television.
I found this to be a rather nice pub; far superior to some of the pubs I have visited nearby. Service was quite efficient without being overly friendly, although one chap in our party was at one stage a tad irked at having been served the wrong whisky - but this was swiftly rectified.
I didn't sample the food, but the prices looked quite reasonable, especially for the area - I've been to a fair number of pubs where the equivalent meal is more expensive than in The Audley. I was actually pleasantly surprised at the price of the drinks, having expected to part with significantly more of my money than I actually did in the end. It's certainly not cheap, but again, I've been to more expensive pubs. I would recommend a visit to The Audley if you find yourself anywhere nearby.
