Another Good Beer Guide Tick - described well enough below by Tris.
Surprisingly, just the one cask on - but it was a well kept TT Landlord, so I was more than happy.
Until I got the on line banking notification following a swipe.
This and a cheese toastie - £18.
To be expected in this neck of the woods I suppose.
Oddly, a day time bouncer at the door. Probably to stop people running away after being presented with the bill :-)

This was for a long time a Meux’s house, built in 1827 and grade II-listed.
A return to what was a regular haunt of mine in the late '80s, so I can’t really remember it that well, other than that it was quite traditional and mercifully, it still is; an absolute rarity in this neck of the woods. The interior has a boarded floor, with a nook down a couple of steps to the rear, featuring a lovely marble fireplace, sadly unused. There’s some remaining etched glass and near full height dark wood panelling. Otherwise, there’s floral wallpaper and a burgundy Anaglypta ceiling, with décor in the form of framed paintings with brass picture lights, further lighting coming from Victorian-style fixtures. Furniture is traditional, with a couple of tall chairs to the centre, then either pews or an avocado green upholstered banquette. Also on display, is a clock from Rotherhithe's former Prince of Orange, which closed in 2001. Unusually for a pub, there were no TVs and not even piped music; CAMRA describes the place as a ‘quiet pub’; all fine by me. Customers were of mixed age and seemed normal, a far cry from some of the awful poseurs seen in nearby Chelsea pubs.
This is a Metropolitan Pub Co joint, so beers are from Greene King, but with three unused pumps, then just GK IPA or Landlord and something sinisterly anonymous called ‘Charlie’s Choice’ bitter. I threw caution to the wind and ordered a half at £2.60 and it was very nice, no hint of Greene Kingery at all.
This is a decent solid pub, along with the Queen’s Arms, the joint best in SW7. A better choice of ales would get the score up at least a point.

A traditional looking pub located down a side street but just off of the Fulham Road, it has an attractive appearance with lots of hanging baskets and was very busy on our Saturday afternoon visit with far more punters on the terrace outside and even spilling out on to the pavement than there were inside.
It’s quite traditional in terms of décor with dark wooden boards on the floor, dark wood panelling on the wall to the left and some yellow patterned wallpaper to the right. A small tiled fireplace was off to one side although it looked as though this was probably no longer used, and above this was an oil painting of a reclining nude. Elsewhere was a large Burton Ales mirror as well as some old black and white photographs and a couple of TV screens, although fortunately these were not in use on our visit. The room was broken up a little with some wood and glass partitioning, and some of the glass was attractively etched. Green padded bench seating was around much of the perimeter. A further room down a few steps to the left had a “Please waited to be seated” lectern at the entrance, so was presumably intended for dining.
Beers on tap were Moncada Notting Hill APA, Abbott Ale, Timothy Taylor Landlord, Sambrook’s Wandle, St Austell Tribute and Greene King IPA. Prices seemed expensive with a couple of pints coming in at a hefty £12.
