This handsome pub (a Grade II listed building) offers the decent selection of beer and food that you would expect from Young's. It also has a pleasant split-level garden to the rear which is ideal for a relaxing drink, and is particularly convenient for meeting people near London Bridge station. Being situated on a busy junction, and in the path of many commuters, means it can get pretty noisy in here, so you're unlikely to linger at commuting times. (And don't come here on Sunday, it's closed)

It’s a miracle! A pub where you don’t have to wait 5 hours to get served. I was even asked by another staff member while being served. There were 4-6 behind the bar and the place was relatively busy. For that alone I felt I should comment. The interior was also tasteful and well lit, no All Bar One blandness in sight. I don’t usually remember a pubs name a day later and I went here a month ago.

If you only do one thing in life, please make sure it’s never to visit here. Do not go here! I have never been to a bar and been so astonishingly offended by the bar staff, as they told one of our party she needed to loose at least two stone! Placards should be erected in honour of how monumentally offensive the bar staff here are. Suffice to say the bar staff are so impressively rude they make Prince Philip look like Henry Kissinger. A more unpleasant group of staff you could not hope to find. Avoid this place like the plague unless you like being insulted and paying for the experience
