A long somewhat narrow pub bar with a wood panelled interior and attractively tiled bar frontage and flooring, once a Nicholsons pub and it did have that kind of feel about it for me,six handpumps ranging from the ordinary to the more interesting ,culminating in a very nice London Brewing Company Porter. Worth a visit.

A small frontage and a very charming interior with lots of wood panelling,a fine bar back and a dome above the bar area with a few banquettes towards the rear.It has an olde worlde feel without being fake.Six handpumps were drawing GK IPA,"Hardy & Hansons" Rockin' Rudolph ,Adnams Broadside,Portobello APA and London Beer Factory Porter,decent if a little warm.Worth popping in if crawling the Whitehall pubs.

I found this to be a lovely pub.Nice pale wood panelling and good lighting makes it bright.Really nice gantry behind the bar and interesting tiled floor and bar.Friendly barmaid(person).Six handpumps with Ohanlons -copper glow,Westerham -british bulldog, Adnams -broadside and 2 beers from London Beer Factory.The Paxtons pale was superb.Will be back.
