Decent pub right by the tube station. Sambrook's Junction and Twickenham Spring Ale plus a couple of ciders. I went for the Spring Ale which was excellent. Very friendly service. Glad to have called in.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Green Man
Corner pub located beside the Bakerloo Line Edgware Road station, madeover inside to look like a gastro-pub but with a restricted burger-based menu. It also operates as a hostel using the upper floors but certainly isn't seedy as such places often are. With tennis on a large screen at one end and the open kitchen at the other, there was plenty going on, and there was a good atmosphere with a mostly young crowd. Disappointingly, only Sambrook's Session (£4.60) was available from the trio of handpumps, because it otherwise made a better impression than I was expecting.

A first in here the other night and the evening's final pub of our mini crawl.
A pub by this name dates back to 1720 but was rebuilt in 1867 with much external finery such as pink granite, all of which can be seen from Paddington Green Police Station, Britain's highest security police station which looms over the pub to the west. Internally it's not big. There's no bar back as such and it has a nasty square section tubular steel hanging gantry. It's modern bare boarded with a grey colour scheme with some dark wood wall panelling to waist height. The walls are decorated with eclectic prints and furniture is mixed. The Kaiser Chiefs wafted out over the gramophone at a level which was a little too loud for comfort. Clients seem to be a bit transient which is no surprise given the slightly depressing area, along with some possibly lapsed Muslims (this area is pretty much home to the UK's biggest Arabic community).
Ales: Hogsback's TEA, G2 Brewing's Orion, Truman's Runner, Sambrook's Wandle and Wimbledon's Copper Leaf at an increasingly reasonable £2.20 a half and in good nick.
Although it was a surprise to find five ales in a pub in this area, on balance this was the low point of our evening's mini crawl and despite the good selection of ales and relative value for money, this place just isn't my thing - as John says: a bit bland but also in a location that I avoid when possible, though I consider the Publove ethos admirable.

On my visit there were 6 real ales on, most of them local. The chelsea blonde was in very good form and was £3.30 a pint. A fairly good pub for real ale.

There was only Greene King Abbot Ale on, with another pump unused during my visit, and although I saw a barman pulling it through, the clip wasn't turned round to the front. It was possibly GKIPA. The Abbot cost £1.75 for a half, which is a bit over the top I would say. Externally the pub looks really attractive with its original brown marble pillars and facing still remaining in all their glory. Inside it’s a different story, with the only remnants of its no doubt glorious past being the cast iron columns complete with ornate scrolled capitals, and the pillars in the bar back. Heavy metal being played at high volume (and what other level would it be played at?) destroyed any hope of a quiet drink. Furnishings consisted largely of tall tables coupled with what looked like very uncomfortable tall and narrow solid wooden stools, but with a few normal tables and chairs. Edgware Road isn’t the best place for pubs with its largely immigrant population, and this one fits the area perfectly, being pretty characterless. I doubt whether I’ll pay a return visit.
