picture of Raven onefortyPoor Raven. Despite a proliferation of nearby trendy flats and being only one minute from the impressive Thames shoreline, Raven is empty. It maybe the midweek timing, but the restaurants and cafes over the road on the pretty square are busy, as are the pubs on Battersea High Road. Perhaps the amateurishly written signs didn't help. Or the huge screen, for lack of any footy that day, showing stock car racing. Unsurprisingly, the pleasant girl behind the bar looked bored. The interior is All Bar Oneish, but not annoyingly so and there's some couches and plants offsetting the harshness. Perhaps it gets busier on weekends. It needs to.
