What a decent pub this is. The clientele are a jolly and friendly crowd, and it's got good drink and food - after all it is a Shepherd Neame pub. It's in a quiet, leafy location with some outdoor seating and it's right in the centre of London. Sympathetically refurbished a few years back, not stripped out like so many pubs today (don't get us started), and it has a pretty nice atmosphere. It's very well done all round, we say and we're hoping it doesn't change - it's one of the reasons we keep going in. Just watch out for the nights when all the corporate sporty types are in. It's got the feel of a good local, and that's what keeps us coming back.

Cracking pub with really good food and comfortable seating.

I don't get why you would give this less than four pints? The beer is always good, it's clean and the clientele pleasant.

I am beginning to wonder if a pub needs to be an utter dump to rate on this guide.
