A splendid looking former Charrington pub, a single downstairs room and another upstairs space. The interior has a slightly modern feel but still maintains a traditional aura. Beers were Landlord and Pride, Brew York Monks Bar and a Gosnells Juicy Rhubarb Nectar Cider.
Very pleasant.

Another Bloomsbury corner pub which has changed its name since my last visit in May 2010. There is a main bar at ground level with dining space upstairs. Toilets are in the basement.
On the bar, there were just a couple of cask ales - By The Horns London Surrey Classic & Redemption Kazbek. On keg, were Beavertown Neck Oil & Hidden New England IPA. Service became a little confused when bar staff started to serve us randomly when were in different rounds. I couldn't really find much to recommend this pub.

A nice little pub with some good historical features, including the tiling and glasswork mentioned below. It is all a bit bijou, not least with little tealights twinkling all over the place, and clearly quite heavily focussed on food. A warm welcome though. On handpump were two from Brew York, Siren Memento and a Crafty Apple cider.
