In this very upmarket part of the capital with it's art galleries and expensive furniture shops,this boozer is a working class enclave.The building itself appears late 1930's and the ground floor pub still has crittal windows but not much else of note from this art deco period.It's a large open plan space with a pool table to one side,a card school going on another table,a bar which backs onto the pavement windows on the opposite side with a final section with a large bench seat and traditional tables.There are pic nic benches outside popular in good weather.
I wasn't expecting real ale but both Doom Bar and London Pride were offered although my Pride was suffereing on a hot day ,NBSS 2,£3 the half.The keg selection was very mainstream.
Although there is a swear box,the language was choice in places and everybody in the pub seemed to know each other,but that didn't bother me.One screen was off,the other had the horse racing on.
Not my kind of pub,although there was a great ska soundtrack, but does offer the locals a bolt hole so deserves to succeed.

A basic street corner local at the base of a small block of flats. There were two beers available on hand pump: London Pride and Doom Bar. I went for the Pride, which was past its best.

This is almost like a fillet, inserted into a residential block dating from 1933.
Despite the area, this is very much a locals’ pub, but not the braying types from up the road; where they come from, I don’t know. The previous reviews still apply, though the purple décor is now red; it’s all simple and attractive, though in such a small space, the pool table, along with players, takes up almost half of it.
The landlord is very old-school, presiding over two pumps: Pride and Doom. Eschewing both, I opted for a Stella which was off, so went for a Kronenbourg, subjected to the guv’nor’s bizarre payment method, which resembled cashback: you pay £6.00 for your drink, then get £3.65 back in change; is this to get round a £6.00 minimum payment?
This is a decent traditional boozer; a couple of more appealing ales would get the score up.
