Duke on the Green, Parsons Green, SW6

Refurbished Youngs' Pub on the New Kings Road, heavily food-orientated and quiet on a Tuesday afternoon when I dropped in. London Gold in good nick but expensive at £3.30. The decor in here is standard Young's modernisation; High tables & chairs, modern sofas 'n' benches and cream outdoor furniture. I left without it forming a lasting impression and perhaps this is due to its close proximity to the White Horse, which for my money is the best pub in London and outshines this place completely in terms of beer.

I remember this pub from years ago when it was a traditional Young’s pub. On a recent visit I found that it still is, although it has gone a bit gastro. I suppose you have to in this area. Part of the pub is given over to a restaurant area. There is some attractive tiling behind the bar.
