Old Kings Head, SE1

Can't believe I've never been here before. The Good Beer Guide pointed it out to me and in my last visit, the alley it hides down was packed with footie fans. Saved for a quieter day and after the madness of Borough Market, this 10:30am opener was just what was needed. A single roomer with a central bar. Two real ales in front, but unless you want to risk missing out, a further two around the corner. I missed out of Harveys Sussex best with a Proper Job. One wall with massive art works of the area in the C17th and of the original London Bridge. Impressive etched glassworks. Cricket was on a number of TVs - at a volume that you wouldnt expect from a sedate sport. Interesting and worth a visit.
