Large corner pub by West Kensington station. Very sport orientated. To the left of the entrance is a bare boarded area with bar counter against the rear wall with high tables and benches opposite and then some similar tables and benches at the far end by the windows looking out onto the v busy main road passing the front of the venue. Off the left-hand end of the bar counter is a small upstairs carpeted area with leather banquettes around the perimeter serving regular tables and space with its own TVs tuned into cycling and Sky Sports News absent sound. Before the steps up are a few steps down to another bare boarded area with booth tables along the right-hand wall with their own small TVs on the wall and a few other regular tables and chairs. Up a couple of steps from the back of this area is initially a carpeted area housing a couple of pool tables with some ledges to perch your beers on whilst playing with tall stools to sit at when you are not playing. The right-hand side of the area is bare boarded with plenty of tall tables and tall backed stools with a smaller bar counter on the right-hand wall offering a subset of the beers in the other bars. Some large TVs and a big projector screen on the far wall. Up a step in the corner to another bare boarded area served by its own bar counter again offering a subset of the fully keg beer range. Seating via tall tables around the front of the bar counter and tan leather corner banquettes on the opposite wall with a chimney sandwiched between them. Obviously more TV screens here also. Finally, down a step or two takes you back to entrance point which is stone tiled around the entrance with seating via tall tables served by either tall benches or leather banquettes around the inner corner, the area housing another fire-grate with a non-operational fire! High ceilings and a decent music soundtrack at a good volume for the size of the venue, although I suspect the music is turned off and the sports commentary on for big live events. Whilst epic in size and a good venue for sporting action I can't think of other reasons to hit this one given the average nature of the keg beer option and no cask.
