Duke of York, SW1

This pub came as a pleasant surprise given its proximity to Victoria Station and its high profile. The staff were young,mostly quite amateurish, though the young bar manager was on the ball and made sure things ran smoothly. Six handpumps, all dispensing Old Brewery Bitter, which was in decent condition. It wasn’t crowded, the atmosphere was pleasant and it was remarkably cheap for London. A good place to meet up or start a crawl.
