Three hand pumps offering Fullers quaffs of ESB, London Pride and the seasonal Grand Slam Spring Ale. The keg offering was also stereotypical Fullers of Guinness, Peroni, Jubel peach lager, the Tiny Rebel Rebel IPA, Siren Lumina, Asahi, a vertical array offering three flavoured Thatcher's ciders (blood orange, apple & blackcurrant, and cloudy lemon), Mondo New England Pale Ale, Amstel, Neck Oil, Heineken, Cornish Orchards cider.
Pretty small (for Fullers) but very backstreet / neighbourhood venue that was a step up from prior venues in W12 this evening (or at least a rival for the JDW near Shepherd's Bush station). Bare boarded throughout with a corner entrance, some nice leaded glass windows at the front. The bar counter is opposite and had a proud QPR mirror as the centrepiece of the back to the bar. There were some tall stools at the corner of the bar providing some close viewing of the TV's on the wall to the left thereof. Fair amount of wood panelling here and the venue was insanely busy and very raucous with people communally playing card games of various types (not strip poker I might add). There were some semi-circular studded leather booths to the right of the door but otherwise regular tables and chairs in the front part. Noticed there was a patio garden at the rear, looked like it was covered at least. Based on the crowds in here on a bland Monday evening this is clearly a "nice little earner" for Fullers. I particularly and fondly liked the painting of Rapid Ranger at the end of the bar counter as I recall attending the greyhound derby at Wimbledon in June 2001 cheering him after already landing two legs of a treble involving the Oaks (Imagine) and Derby (Galileo) that weekend and netting me a five-figure return (no pence)!

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!
