Decent pub which is an easy stroll to the Brentford ground. Busy on match day as you would expect. It had been a long morning by the time I got here so I don't recall the beer I had but I think it was a Twickenham beer. Right by the tube station.

Handily located opposite the station, this is a fair-sized two bar pub given a colourful twist by brightly-hued window panes which, given a bit of sun, light up the whole place. Coloured lights and arty artwork complete the look. Furnishings are eating house style one side, with a mix of tables and stools the other, but for a change are in matching sets rather than random cast-offs. There is an outdoor area including a covered yard at the back. Beerwise it has two handpumps (offering Oakham Citra and Twickenham Autumn Red on this visit) plus a dozen or so craft and cider keg taps with a good proportion of London micros included. Despite the vivid colours I found myself quite liking this pub.
