The Masons Arms, Battersea Park, SW8

Gastropubby Fuller's Pub adjacent to Battersea Park station. Tastefully if genereically furnished; Has lots of sketches of old cars hung on the walls, perhaps harking back to a previous incarnation as a mechanic's workshop. Unusually for a Fuller's pub, the ale selection is limited to just two handpumps, dispensing Pride (obviously) and a guest, in this case Gales' Spring Sprinter. The latter was tasty, albeit at an eye-watering £3.99. I suppose I should be grateful - a fortnight ago it would have been £4. Lots of tables had 'reserved' notices on them with a football club appearing to have block booked. There is an open plan layout with the kitchen partially exposed to the bar area. Overall it is average, clearly aimed at the local upmarket demographic but no great shakes as a drinker's hangout.
