The London Apprentice, Old Isleworth

Don't know why the new landlord, I believe his name is Tom, decided to install two flat screen tv's and new bar staff, most of whom don't know how to give service with a smile . The money would have been better spent fixing up the toilets which are in the most terrible state of disrepair. I agree with others re- the food, not as good as it could be, though the sandwiches aren't half bad. You couldn't get a better view of the river which probably hasn't changed much in centuries. People will always go there because of the location and the history but money needs to be spent on the upkeep.
