The Robin Hood, Stone

The original pub building was converted into flats.

99% of people passing through the station would never dream of looking in here and indeed the small doorway off the concourse with the bureau de change in it (and a very handy cash dispenser, never a queue) is hardly inviting. Once you found your way in, gone past the reception and got to the end you get to what was known for years as the Harvard Bar, it's really the dark wood panelled room on the left, rather than the anonymous hotel lounge on the right. For no apparent reason the rowing memorabilia disappeared a few years ago and it's now called the Club bar, though little else has changed in a very long time. It is the only haven of civilisation on the station and indeed the only place within quite a distance where you can meet someone for a quiet drink. But of course with this being a posh hotel in central London you pay for the privilege, £4.50 for a pint of Staropramen. However it's sometimes worth it if you need half an hour's peace before running the Southern Railway gauntlet, and of course has the added bonus of free bogs of the highest standard.

A detached white rendered and stone clad 60s looking pub, with green paintwork and a small patio. The interior had a couple of rooms, but we didn't spend much time indoors to avoid the footy score. The lounge was in white and had Sky TV - sorry, cant give much more detail, other than the corridor had nice tiling. The service was fine, the clientele was small and more mature. Beer; despite the sign saying a large selection of beer - it transpire that there was Bombardier on handpull and general tap stuff - though no MILD. Sadly, the Bombardier was horrid and i threw it in the plant pot in the patio. Nothing would really make me want to come back here; poor choice, poor beer, i just hope i got it on a bad day.
