Dating from 1832 but rebuilt in 1926, this was a Taylor Walker pub, recently taken over by Greene King - out of the frying pan...
On entering you know what to expect and the reviews below apply, except that the number of TVs have multiplied and greatly increased in size, showing the boxing with the sound off on this occasion, so as not to compete with the mindless popstrel singing on the gramophone. Décor seemed to be dominated by all the Six Nations guff which is what you'd expect in an establishment of this type.
There were three ales: GK IPA, Abbot and Sambrook's Powerhouse Porter which was absolutely rancid.
This is a very poor pub indeed and is indicative of this benighted neighbourhood, so a return is off the cards.

Believe it used to be branded as Taylor Walker now Greene King branding. Usual bare boarded interior with tiles at the bar. 5 real ale taps 3 on during my visit.

Several real ales on – Timothy Taylor Landlord; Theakston's Old Peculiar; Adnam's Broadside; Young's Kew Gold; and a sign on a further clip announced that the London Pride was still conditioning. I had the Kew Gold, which was in good nick, at a pretty average price of circa £3 a pint. This is so obviously a Spirit Group pub, but by no means the worst I have been in. They had quite a few high stools and tables in the window area and in the centre of the room, but with sufficient normal tables and chairs and banquette seating round the sides. All the usual modern features were present – cash machine, one-armed bandit, and a large flat screen TV on the back wall. The TV was, as so often, showing Sky Sports, but muted – and, unusually and tastefully, enclosed in a gilded picture frame. The usual mundane pop music was being played. Décor nothing special. In fact that about sums this pub up. Clean and comfortable and OK for a pint if you're passing as it does do some decent ale, but nothing special.

Large single bar pub with bare boards and plenty of wood surrounds. 4 Real ales on tap but unfortunately Bitter & Twisted had just gone off but the Pride was 1st class
