Three hand pumps, one unclipped, the other two delivering TT LL and LPride. Keg offering of Peroni, Neck Oil, Pravha, Asahi, Moretti, Brixton Reliance Pale Ale and Coldharbour Lager, Aspall cider and Guinness.
Busy corner pub. Some outside picnic style bench seating. Inside a longish rectangle with the bar counter in the rear right-hand corner. Tiled flooring at the front and bare boards from the start of the bar counter. Large windows in the front and opposite the bar counter with regular tables and chairs down the left-hand side and in the front part of the venue. It was a busy venue on my visit early evening. A long wooden staircase led up to the first-floor seating but I was happy standing at the bar on the ground floor. Quite high ceiling with dark green anaglypta covering and housing a non-operating ceiling fan. Nice to see a busy venue like this but nothing particularly outstanding to make it other than average.

Looks decent from the outside,with a pleasant looking beer terrace but the interior is stipped out and bare,with a long room ,a roped off staircase to a function room and the only real feature being a very impressive mirrored bar back.Both handpumps had clips reversed (Pride and Landlord if you were interested ) and although the pub was doing food ,no menus were on display.
Best beer option was seemingly keg Brixton Reliance Pale from very mainsteam options and there was a feel of a pub where nobody really cares,so I will not darken it's doors again.Pretty empty when most other pubs in the area were thriving.

A small corner pub, seemingly 'eaten' by the office block next door. The interior feels a bit too stripped out and has an unpleasant olive green colour scheme but, as admirably described below, the main feature is the superb carved bar back and some nice plasterwork. There is a small garden at the front also, if you can put up with the traffic. Sadly the beers were not great, with a clip-reversed London Pride and a very expensive TT Landlord (£3.45 half) in reasonable if not great condition. Not a lot of atmosphere - visit to see the woodwork and move on.
