Quite a handsome Victorian pub (particularly after a recent lick of paint) that's in an area overrun with tourists going to the British Museum. The results are what you would expect - no matter how hard the management try - and they do pretty well considering, it will always be a tourist pub. "Famous for our fish and chips" gives an indication of the market their aiming at. But that said, it's worth a pint or two if you can get into it when's its quiet. And as it's got outside seating with a little pedestrianised area, it's a good place to meet on a nice day. The beer selection's pretty good too, including Pride, Landlord and Old Speckled Hen last time we were in. It's got to be a nice little earner though - we're just jealous.
