A pub of some heritage value in a great location which also means it's a bit of a tourist trap. A Youngs pub so beer choice was limited to Youngs Original and Special with a guest of Twickenham Naked Ladies which demanded a stonking £3.65 a half, this left one of the five hand pumps bare with the remaining one promising that TT Landlord was coming soon.
A pleasant enough pub but little else to get excited about.

A riverside honeypot, especially on a sunny spring day when it's bright but not too hot. Four beers on among the hand pumps spread on both sides of the central bar counter. I went for a half of Young’s Special 4.5% (NBSS 3.5, £6.50/pint). Service was prompt and efficient, the atmosphere was tolerable, background music ditto, but I'm glad it's not August.

Location x 3. Always loved this pub, since seeing the neon glow from the sign from a distance on a dusk time walk along the Thames.

First visit in 10 years and its not changed. Central bar with tables all around. Bay window with a fine view over the Bridge and Waterfront.

Youngs house.... with their regular beers on. Never going to set the world on fire but often a pub is more than the beer.
