Originally The Norfolk Arms, this is definitely an improvement over the squalid former The George Orwell. Well described below, oddly the main doors were flung open for air and yet smokers stood virtually in the pub. A clever way of getting around the smoking ban? The barrel chairs mentioned below have gone - at least, we didn't see them. Friendly bar staff, ales on: a vacant pump, Dark Star's Hophead and American Pale Ale at £3.20 which is incredible value for anywhere in London. Worth a return visit but not worth a detour.

A single roomed corner pub,wood floor and mixed seating. The bar is along the back wall and at the far end this runs into the open kitchen.There are three handpumps all had beers on from Windsor and Eton in the shape of Windsor Knott,Knights of the Garter and Canberra, whilst these are all OK I would have prefered to see a little variation from a different brewer, I counted 12 craft keg offerings.I quite liked the relaxed feel here,it was worth the visit.
