Randomness Guide to London - Coach And Horses entry

This pub comprises a pretty small ground floor bar. It does have additional seating upstairs, but this was closed when I visited on Saturday afternoon even though all the seating downstairs was occupied. Clearly it was a Wm. Younger’s pub in a previous incarnation, as evidenced by the name enshrined in the stained glass windows. I rather like the retention of these sort of features. There were a couple of real ales on – Timothy Taylor Landlord and Sharpe’s Doom Bar. I can’t recall which one I drank but it was OK. I found the atmosphere here to be fairly comfortable and friendly and I would be happy to visit again.

An unscheduled stop yesterday but I'm glad I did. Unusual wedge shaped mock timbered place, a smallish bar area with more (unvisited) seating upstairs. A nice feature is the retention of the old Wm Youngers windows. Comfortable, carpeted and with some wood panelling. An impressive array of pump clips over the bar and along the ceiling beams indicates a good guest ale policy. The menu yesterday was OSH, Pride, TT Landlord and Brains Top Notch. Good beer and at £2.95 betwixt the West End and Mayfair not bad these days.
