A basic street corner local at the base of a small block of flats. There were two beers available on hand pump: London Pride and Doom Bar. I went for the Pride, which was past its best.

This is almost like a fillet, inserted into a residential block dating from 1933.
Despite the area, this is very much a locals’ pub, but not the braying types from up the road; where they come from, I don’t know. The previous reviews still apply, though the purple décor is now red; it’s all simple and attractive, though in such a small space, the pool table, along with players, takes up almost half of it.
The landlord is very old-school, presiding over two pumps: Pride and Doom. Eschewing both, I opted for a Stella which was off, so went for a Kronenbourg, subjected to the guv’nor’s bizarre payment method, which resembled cashback: you pay £6.00 for your drink, then get £3.65 back in change; is this to get round a £6.00 minimum payment?
This is a decent traditional boozer; a couple of more appealing ales would get the score up.

Started my mini crawl of some of the remaining traditional pubs around Sloane Square station here and found it still to be functioning as an unpretentious corner local. Although built into a 1930’s housing block its attractive enough from the outside with planted up window boxes and plenty of external bench seating along the two sides. Internally the L shaped bar area has no real interesting features but is pleasant enough being half panelled with a purple and green décor and the black and white film star photographs remain from the previous reviews. The public bar feel to one end still remains with its pool table dominating and jukebox and flat screen tele for the sport.
Same two beers of Bombardier and Spitfire on the two pumps and the Spitfire was decent enough. A few people in for my lunchtime visit including a couple of Chelsea Pensioners as they get discounts here, and although clearly not a destination pub I also would have no issue to utilise again when back in this area.
