The Eagle, Shepherds Bush, W12

This is a mid-19th century pub, which still exhibits some green banded Charrington’s glass. The interior was subject to a substantial makeover in 2017, though the previous review largely applies. It has been comprehensively gastrofied in here, with a very contemporary interior featuring a modern floor, Farrow & Ball colour scheme, green glazed tiling, zoned contemporary furniture and fluted glass lamp shades. The rear is largely geared towards dining and here there’s a plate glass window which looks out over a substantial, landscaped garden. There are bored games, trendy framed prints though at least there’s a log fire. Customers included families with their progeny or young professional types; there’s a vast gulf between execution and demography here compared to the Orchard up the road and certainly for the better. Ales amounted to two unused pumps, then Original or Special at £2.65 a half. There’s very little to recommend this borough pub-wise, but this is one of the better establishments.
