Located inside a shopping centre, this one definitely already doesn't win any awards for its looks. Once inside it's a very tight affair. Drinks take an age to come and when they do they are served in a plastic glass. Definitely the worst Spoons I've ever been in. Nothing to recommend unless you're in the vicinity and desperate for a drink.

Inside the W12 shopping centre ,on the first floor with a bar feel overlooking the Green,this 'spoons is unusual and not that large but popular never the less.Lots of high tables opposite the bar,some lower level tables elsewhere ,it's in the 2025 GBG which drew the visit.There are table signs warning of bag snatchers and so close to the tube station implies there is a transient customer base although a lot of the punters seemed to have been there on a session.
The trio of Doom was expanded by Abbot Reserve but there were some decent guest beers from which I chose Thornbridge Jaipur IPA in NBSS 4 form.With a paucity of ale options nearby this would be an obvious target for any real ale drinkers unlucky enough to find themselves in this hectic part of London.I would return.

I've started to warm to Spoons but this place has sent me crashing back to earth.

This is housed in a shopping centre - so has no architectural merit.

The usual JDW complaints about filthy tables are present in abundance. The positives - quick ordering from the app and keen pricing are also present.

But how can you have a Good Beer Guide Pub serving pints in plastic glasses by default?

Maybe I can trade vouchers for glassware.
