It was busy here on Saturday afternoon and it soon got busier as a fancy dress pub crawl arrived at about the same time as we did. After getting our drinks we went outside to enjoy the view over the Thames. I was stood under the curving, open staircase that leads to the upper level when I was hit on the head by the business end of a vacuum cleaner carried by one of the fancy dressers on his way upstairs - I didn't see what the rest of his costume was, or why he needed to carry an old stand-up vacuum cleaner around with him.
Anyway, it's a pleasure to be able to report that after all that, we had a very pleasant time here at the Dove and the London Pride was in fantastic condition. In fact, if I'd known the result of our game at Loftus Road in advance, I'd have stayed here instead. Is that NBSS 4.5?

Nice tradiional pub backing onto the river. Small but nice, but also popular due to the location. Beer is flat in the London style

Tucked away down a small back alley is this lovely old pub with a traditional and fairly unspoilt interior. Layout is three rooms one behind the other, leading out to a small patio garden overlooking the river. The main bar has a tight dark varnish interior, low beams, riverside prints, muted lighting and padded settles – all rather lovely. The two rear rooms are given over to dining so you need to get here at a quiet time I'd you want a seat. Three ales on from Fuller's; Pride (oddly fizzy, NBSS 2.5), Oliver's Island and ESB. Steep prices as to be expected. The iffy beer stops it from getting the top marks it probably would have received otherwise.
