A rather typical Antic pub,large with various sections although the large tap room is feature less with lots of unimpressive furniture and the servery at the rear with a decent mirrored back.Right at the front to the left is a section running along the pavement side ,while to the back left there is a raised section with lots of bench seating and an upright piano.Both these areas have some bric a brac,fireplaces unused and gloomy,moody lighting.It's shabby chic,with lots of exposed brickwork and flock wallpaper but the ale selection was uninspiring in Voldens Pale (owned by Antic),Wadworth Horizon,Small Beer Hazy and TT Landlord (clear but out of condition,tangy ,NBSS 1.5).There was a feeling of a lack of care,the manager seemed distracted and disinterested.I will keep walking next time.

Originally the Tigers Head, this pub dates from at least the early 19th century, though the gorgeous bottle green faience tiling is probably turn of the century, the Silver Buckle name seemingly replaced around 2010.
This is no longer an Antic pub, but the bare brick below the picture windows is a vestigial reference to its former presence. With a visit available courtesy of Google, the floor’s bare boarded, dark grey walls, Eau de Nil ceiling, original bar array, traditional furniture and mixed light fittings; to the left-hand side is a raised snug which is more traditional and can be reserved for functions. Many – perhaps most – of the customers were students from Goldsmiths, partaking of the quiz, the quizmaster thinking himself quite the comedian and describing himself as ‘…a bald Northerner’.
The cask choice at the time of my Wednesday 9.25pm visit amounted two reversed clips then just Volden Pale, £1.90 a half, ok and served by a despondent, uninterested barmaid.
This place isn’t too bad, but not worth a special visit.

Large open-plan pub and somewhat souless inside, the seating was mostly of the normal type, the walls a mixture of bare brick and wallpaper. Four handpumps on the bar with Butbombe Original the only ale on, this was kept company by Old Rosie Cider, the remaining two handles bare. There were a few commonly found craft beers on tap along with more basic options. Premier League football was on the tv screens but the custom was fairly sparse. It's a pub I'd not likely bother with again.
