Quite a nice modern vibe in here, fairly busy but service was brisk. Three handpulls on the bar with two available, Allsopps IPA and London Brewing London Lush with a price tag of £6.60 for a 3.8% beer, ouch, the third handle had London Pride coming soon, a range of around ten craft beers looked ok but I shudder to think of the financial hurt.Despite the expense I quite liked the pub but if I should return It'll be a half.

A typical London corner pub, the original layout long gone and now one large room with a bar counter on the back wall. There are three hand pumps but a plethora of keg beers which seem to be the main focus. Though I'm not sure focus is the right word, as the staff seemed uninterested in me and lacking enthusiasm for their beers. Certainly I didn't feel welcome here which was not the case in the nearby Golden Eagle and Angel in the Fields. My half of Fullers London Pride was ok (NBSS 2.5) but at £6.50/pint for a pretty ordinary beer this pub failed to impress on the beer front as well as the customer service - I got cheaper beers in better condition at both the other pubs.

I warmed to this pub.It's on a street corner and has very good stained glass in the exterior windows and some wood panelling inside.The bar back is large and imposing.The ground floor is square with a drinking shelf between the two front doors and lots of high tables and chairs ,some circular,some long so you may end up sharing the space with other customers.On the first floor there is a restaurant and glancing at the prices it's not cheap but I didn't partake.
The bar was offering three real ales in Allsopps IPA,Fullers London Pride and a decent TT Landlord (£3 half,NBSS 3),while 10 wall mounted taps were offering continental lagers,London based craft keg beer and sparkling cider.A classy jazz track was playing at a sensible volume and no flatscreen for distraction ,the ground floor is popular with drinkers and attracts a mixed crowd.If in the area,pop in for a decent pint.

Quite a plain bare boarded interior serving 3 real ales and “craft keg”. Didn’t visit upstairs or downstairs.

One room with the bar to the right. Three hand pumps, one unused. Others Doombore and N1 Pale ale, so neither were for me.

The reviews below sum this pub up well with the part exposed brickwork and chunky scrubbed tables, pale grey paint, bare boards and unattractive marble bar top. Music was at least muted but with all the hard surfaces, acoustics were terrible - I couldn't hear myself think in here, not helped by the loud conversation emanating from the vocal suited crowd.
On the ale front there was Sharp's Coachmaker's Lubrication and Coaster, Twickenham's Wandle and Truman's Zephyr which was good. I didn't clock the price but doubtless it was pricey.
I shan't be coming here again and my sentiments have been reinforced by their ridiculous Heath Robinson website with its annoying soundtrack which I can't shut off!

This one had on four ales - St Austell Tribute; Butcombe Bitter; Sharps Coachmakers Lubrication (a 3.6% house ale presumably); and Windsor & Eton Windsor Knot (£2.10 a half). This is a gastropub with food and drink at gastropub prices. Main courses, with nothing resembling pub grub, range from £12.50 to £18. A chicken sandwich with chips (or "fries" as they call them here) is £9.
In here we have the obligatory distressed leather sofas, scrubbed wooden tables, re-cycled school chairs and solid round pouffes. The wall behind, and along from, the bar counter is exposed brickwork and displays a gilt framed mirror and the chalkboard menu.
This place is nothing much like a pub now - but the Windsor Knot was in fine shape.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Coach Makers
Nearly square bar with a high ceiling, large windows and light furniture / decor. 'Gin Palace' on the first floor. Gastro pub menu and table service. Some patio seating out front. Miserable-looking staff. Four handpumps, offering Sharps CM Lubrication £3.80, Doom Bar, Greene King IPA and Flying Scotsman. (NB - Review dates from July 2012.)

This is a high ceiling open plan pub with gastro menu and loud music. On a plus point for the real ale fan I spotted four obscure ones that I had never heard of, but the inane chatter echoing around the room was too much and I left after a half of Guinness.
This is probably ok during the daytime so maybe I will give it another go at Christmas after being dragged on an afternoon shopping session.
