Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Sherlock Holmes

Not a bad two-room Greene King pub, provided that you don't get there at the same time as a coach-load of Conan Doyle enthusiasts... Typical 'olde London pub' with U-shaped interior; supplemented, of course, by loads of Sherlock Holmes memorabilia. Beer-wise, there are five handpumps on one side of the central counter; and there is usually a reasonable selection of well-kept beers. These were IPA and the 'house' 4% Sherlock Holmes Pale Ale and 5% Dr Watson's Amber Ale plus TT Boltmaker and Autumn Red from Twickenham (£6.85) on my latest visit.

Trekked here on the way home as my recording couldn’t verify I had been here since I started tracking pubs on PG. definitely the only one here potentially previously unvisited in the post code. Was pretty effing manic when I got here about 9.30pm. Plenty of beers on handpump (Abbot, Tribute, GK IPA) but the instant I walked in the door I thought a glass of red wine is safer here. No idea what the red wine was, asked for the wine list and was told there was a single red so chose that!! There were some ales on hand pump that sounded like they were made up names to sell to tourists. As I said I had always assumed I had been here but maybe that was my sub-conscious telling me that was the case to protect me. Anyway job done, never to be repeated.

I spent a pleasant few minutes in nearby Whitehall Gardens while waiting for the clock to tick around to midday opening time here. This is a very good looking pub to external appearances, and I suppose some will be intrigued by the endless Sherlockian paraphernalia on the inside, but as a pub it leaves something to be desired. Two rooms, with virtually identical beer line-ups on the hand pumps (see photos), but the left hand side (door says 'saloon') has low tables with menus, while the door on the right ('public') has exclusively high tables and stools. The central bar, facing both ways, is in dark wood (including pilasters and gantries), with foot rails and hooks, which would normally gain my approbation, but in the face of all this Holmesian tomfoolery I just yawn and move on. Oh, my notes say that my GK IPA was ok, but I can't remember drinking it.
