Lavins, Hanwell, W7

A sign outside says that this bar opens at 9.0 AM. I guess they must have enough customers to make it worthwhile opening at that time - they certainly had enough when I dropped in at around 11.15 AM, and I would not have been surprised if some of them had been in for a couple of hours by then. It's obviously a single-room shop conversion bar, with a brick faced bar counter, 70s style metalwork gantry above it, stools at the bar and very basic normal tables elesewhere, a TV - and that's about it. It calls itself a sports bar, but I didn't see any sign of sporting activity other than Sky Sports on the TV. There's no real ale of course. This is a typical wet led bar that is clearly popular with the all day drinking fraternity.
