Obviously still as Tris describes it a few months ago, four handpumps with three bare and one clipped with Harveys Sussex Best, which turned out to be off anyway, on the keg front it's mostly standard fayre with a couple of corporate craft options, I decided to try the Camden Stout only to be told that was also off, so Guinness it was. This pub is firmly in the 'nothing to see here, move along' category.

This is a mid-19th century pub, originally the Coach & Horses, renamed as the Phoenix following fire damage (how original) and recently taken over by Harvey’s, their third pub in London, all south of the river, presumably not to get too far from Sussex.
The interior is very basic and spartan, rough scorched floorboards and a cream of mushroom soup colour scheme; wainscoting painted a shade of Portobello mushroom, the walls and ceiling closed cup button mushroom. There are dark roller blinds and mixed furniture with some cheap-looking banquettes, with studded cloth backs then dark vinyl seats, the whole very brightly lit, not helped by five TVs which for most of my stay broadcast the Sky menu, then silent unwatched tennis; customers were an animated young bunch, quite possibly students.
A shoddy showing for a Harvey’s pub, especially for a Saturday night, with cask options amounting to two reversed clips then just Sussex Beast, £2.45 a half and not bad once warmed up.
This is a rather characterless pub leaving mushroom for improvement, not helped with all the TVs; if you want a Harvey’s pub, go to the Royal Oak or the Cat’s Back.

Basic pub with the bar to the right. Couple of weak hand pumps - rest keg. Would not return.
