This place isn't the most exciting pub that I have ever been in, but I wouldn't expect much in the way of entertainment from a Sam Smith's pub anyway. Sam Smiths business plan seems to be to provide cheap booze in interesting, well maintained pubs. I wouldn't say that this place is very interesting, but the booze is cheap and the pub is looked after. The main part of the pub is open plan with some tables and chairs dotted about. There is some more intimate seating up a couple of steps towards the rear of the pub that lead to the conservatory. There is also ample outside seating at the front of the pub leading up the side to the rear. The main courses on the food menu cost a maximum of £5.95. I didn't see anyone eating so I don't know if it is any good, but you'd be hard pressed to buy a dog turd in St John's Wood for £5.95. I found the staff to be very pleasant and although I would stay in here all night I would pop in for a couple of cheekies if passing.
