picture of Rugby TavernA decent pub this. A jolly crowd, good drink and food (after all it is a Shepherd Neame pub), in a quiet, leafy location with some outdoor seating and it's right in the centre of London. It's recently(ish) been sympathetically refurbished (not stripped out like many pubs today) and has a pretty nice atmosphere. Well done all round, we say. Just watch out for the nights when all the corporate sporty types are in.
