Refurbished wedge-shaped pub with a rounded end, which certainly looks much more appealing than it used to. The bar benefits from a huge amount of window space on three sides, albeit partly offset by the dark-wood furniture and counter. Attractive bar-back and old clock, behind which there is another room that is more of a lounge. Clientele mostly young professionals. No real ale, unfortunately, with keg offerings including London Pale Ale and Yakima Red (£4.90) from Meantime and 40 Ft pale ale.
