Large Fuller's tied house in the back streets,the interior has been opened out ,the ceilng is high and beyond the large main room is a corridor past the thai open kitchen with a drinking shelf opposite before doors to a beer patio.The furniture is traditional the wood panelling is pleasing but the main features are the windows and doors apart from a QPR bar back mirror ,Loftus Road is quite close.The flatscreens were showing the Old Firm derby on mute. The three handpumps were drawing London Pride,ESB and HSB,a malty brew these days and hence NBSS 2.5 despite being clear.Surprisingly in the 2025 GBG ,just not enough interest for me to warrant a revisit.

This pub dates from 1866, but I suspect that the interior and Chazzer’s green banded windows are the product of a 1930s’ refit. It’s very much a backstreet pub, which you’ll have no chance of finding unless you are a local, lost or both.
The floor’s bare boarded with walls three-quarter clad with bare wood panelling. The bar structure is attractive carved wood, for once without silly shiny white tiles; furniture is conventional. Paintwork where applied is off-white. There are knickknacks and framed prints of the area from yesteryear; of note are two photos of George Cole, one with him standing next to Dennis Waterman; much of Minder – possibly even most of it – was filmed in and around Hammersmith, so I suspect that the pub may have featured in one or more episodes; there’s no real reason why any others would. In all, it’s a very pleasant interior, with conventional furniture, local mixed customers, many of whom were eating the apparently Thai food, which I couldn’t smell, for once.
A Fuller’s limited ale range that included something I think was called ‘Atlantic’ at £2.50 a half, which for a Fuller’s beer was really rather nice; I think it may have been a collaboration, which would explain why.
This is really a rather nice pub by any standards, certainly for a place in Hammersmith & Fulham, where for once you wouldn’t run out screaming after half a pint, where you’d be proud to take ‘er indoors – it could be so good for you!

This is a pleasant Fuller’s pub, well tucked away in the backstreets about 5-10 minutes walking distance from Goldhawk Road or Shepherd’s Bush Market stations. The interior has a reasonably sized single room broken up by a number of narrow support pillars, with wooden flooring and half panelled walls. Nice banquettes line the front wall and there are a few high tables dotted around, but most of the seating is of the standard table and chair variety, each table having a lit candle on it when I arrived on an evening visit. There are some nice touches including the leaded windows and some grand chandeliers which help to create a warm and comfortable feel. Two TV screens were showing Champions League football with the commentary on quite loud, which put off at least two female customers who came in, heard the football and turned round and went straight back out again. The room is decorated with pictures of QPR football club, an artwork by local photographer Gideon Hart depicting the famous greyhound Rapid Ranger and some photos of the TV series Minder, which I believe was filmed locally.
There are five hand pumps, but with London Pride triple clipped, there was only space for ESB and Chiswick alongside it. I fancied a pint of Pride and thought they kept it very well. The room extends slightly to the rear where there is the unusual sight of an open kitchen which seemed to be serving up Thai dishes of the most wonderfully aromatic variety.
Finding a decent pub in the Shepherd’s Bush area can be a bit of a nightmare, but this place was pretty good and worth a bit of a trek from the station. They clearly know how to keep their beer, so a better selection of Fuller’s ales would go a long way to making this more of a draw.
