This one certainly stands out from the commuter pubs and theatre bars of the area, being a dyed in the wool local's boozer. Both the exterior and interior décor are fairly untouched (noteworthy features being the piano and the old photos of bus trips from the pub) with a TV in the main bar and a pool table in the back room. In our experience however, the clientele is more mixed than that of the other nearby places and consequently an evening here can more interesting, even if its rough and ready appearance will be off-putting for some. Add good service plus a couple of well kept ales and we have rather a soft spot for drinking here.

Basic down to earth London boozer of the very kind that sadly seem to be a dying breed. I loved it! A superb pint of Seafarer was enjoyed and this pub was such a refreshingly authentic change from the general poncification of this area.

The Strange Torpor.
