Randomness Guide to London - William IV entry

My first beef with this place is why do pubs use these stupid metal handles on their pumps that have the name of the drink etched into them so that you can only see what drinks are on offer if you are standing directly in front of the pump. You end up having to ask the barman who resents being asked what drinks are available every time someone who has not been into the pub before walks in. I did manage to find out that one ale was off, but Landlord and Pride were available alongside a selection of standard and premium lagers. The target market seems to be the young middle class professional who likes playing board games whilst sitting on cheap looking furniture. There is a lounge and cocktail bar upstairs, but I didn't investigate as I decided that I had seen enough and moved on.
