An excellent local in a quaintly picturesque area (especially if you like industrial Victoriana) just at the back of Waterloo East Station. We're sure we've seen the nearby blackened terraced houses in many a period drama and this pub just fits right in. That's not to say it's an olde worlde, touristy pub-going experience - it's not. Weekdays finds a mix of office workers and a wide selection of locals and the atmosphere is usually excellent. There's usually a decent selection of ale on, some good Thai food and efficient service (it has to be on busy Friday nights). We like this place a lot - so much so we gave it not one, but two awards.
