Randomness Guide to London - Queens Head entry

This is one of the quieter pubs in the town centre that is mostly frequented by the older drinker. There was some very low music on during my visit and I didn’t spot any TVs in the main bar area although there was a flat screen monitor in the back room which was showing Harry Potter, which I found a bit odd given the nature of the pub. Obviously having no screens means that there is no Sky Sports and there is a sign in the door warning that no service will be given to anyone wearing football colours – not that anyone wearing football colours would want to drink in here anyway. Two of the six hand pumps were off, but Ordinary, 6X and Landlord were all available and the Guinness that I had from the standard draught range was on good form. I didn’t see anyone eating, but there were some menus lying around and I spotted an advertisement for a curry club every Thursday from 17:00. I like a pub with low beams and a slightly olde world feel, but I struggled to get comfortable in here and I would walk past if in the area again.
