Pubs like this are now all too commonplace. Take one traditional old pub that is down on its luck, call in the interior designers, rip it to shreds, stick in bright lights, a couple of plasma screens and a pool table and hey presto, one faceless, soulless modern pub aimed at people who really can't be bothered to walk an extra hundred yards in search of anything with a bit of charisma. Standard keg selection, in fact nothing of interest whatsoever unless you want a game of pool, watch footie or are just trying to get a cheap pint in before being ripped off in Koko opposite (that's the Camden Palace for you oldies like me). Functional but uninteresting and boring and not a place I can see myself returning to in a hurry.
