As mentioned, a long narrow interior with multiple handpumps divided between the two bar areas, unfortunately only the usual GK suspects were available, IPA, Abbott and London Glory. It's not a pub I'd normally entertain but it served the purpose on that evening in being close to the station and was showing a football match I wanted to catch, however I don't envisage a return.

A very long narrow pub, which stretches back a surprising way. The dark paintwork makes the front a bit gloomy, with an interesting barrel vaulted ceiling: one wall has sundry Dickensian prints, while the other has a large mural of steam locomotives - trying not to sound too sad but clearly totally unrelated to Paddington, epecially the American one!. The rear room benefits from more light and windows, if not much of a view. The GK beers were IPA, Abbot, London Glory and the seasonal Progress, which was quite nice.

The Dickens Tavern is a very long and thin Greene King run pub with steps up to the entrance. There are tables either side of the entrance and the bar runs up the left wall. This bar is split mid-way by a supporting column; each side of the bar supports six handpumps. These were badged with the full range of Greene King ales, but Progress was the only one available. At the end of the bar is some seating that faces a large television that was showing Wimbledon tennis. Cricket was also being shown on smaller televisions dotted throughout the pub. Beyond there are steps down to a rear seating area that also houses a pool table and a rear entrance onto London Mews which runs adjacent to the pub. The service was polite and this is certainly one of the longest and thinnest pubs I’ve been in, but I saw nothing that would have me rushing back.
