Despite its proximity to Pimlico tube, the Gallery is often a lot less frenetic than the other worker's pubs scattered around the area. Indeed it seems that it straddles, pretty successfully, a fine line between old bloke local pub and afterwork hangout. The interior is decked in a simple refurbished style, but it's comfortable enough and the nooks and crannies make it vaguely interesting. We also like the upstairs bar where you can grab a seat overlooking the street while simultaneously getting a bird's eye view of those sitting on the ground floor (with the help of the eponymous gallery). There's a couple of ales on tap, the pub grub is reasonable and the service considerably more cheerful than average. If you're after a normal pub and want to be as close to Pimlico tube as possible without actually being on the Victoria Line, then the Gallery is your best bet.
