The Old Ship, Richmond

Interesting-looking pub, and easy to spot in the darker hours due to its prominent position on a road junction and the illuminated red signage on the upper façade. Traditional, multi-room interior on two floors, with plenty of dark-wood panelling and mostly nautical memorabilia. Being a Youngs pub, Original and Special plus Twickenham Naked Ladies as a guest available from the various handpumps on three different bar counters.

A two roomed pub, quite attractive with lead lined windows and a general olde worlde feel.There are eight pumps in all four in each room and on my visit the beers were duplicated on either side, these were Young's Bitter, Special and Winter Warmer plus Twickenham Grandstand, the Young's Bitter reflected its nom de plume and was indeed rather ordinary. I thought the pub itself was ok but given the beer line up I wouldn't make a beeline back too soon.
