Accessed over a footbridge that crosses the River Sow is The Yard, which has reverted back to its original name after spending a few years as The Crafty Sow and then a Yates. This is a large pub that was full of, mostly, young men watching Champions League football on the multiple screens throughout. The bar counter on the left wall supports standard and premium keg and one of the two hand pumps was drawing Sharp’s Doom Bar. There are various seating and standing areas including raised seating and a pool table in the right rear. This is the sort of place I would have been seen in 20 odd years ago.

Couldn't find this place at first as the entrance is from Millbank using a bridge over the canal. Nice enough pub but no ale to be had. Saw Giroud's goal whilst in there.

Formerly The Yard but now called The Crafty Sow. A large open plan pub. Its quite a nice pub to be fair though it is very Wetherspoonsy but without the beer selection. 3 cask ales on.
