Large corner pub. Restruant upstairs can be hired for private use. Raised seting areas at the front and back, can also be reserved. 6 real ales on sale. Food served all day. Outside seating area.

One of my locals whilst working at the nearby Home Office. A lot of their leaving do's are held in here as it's a very large pub. One central servery with a raised area to both left and right and a decent sized area in front of the bar. It can still get packed with suits (like me) on a Thursday night after work, but the service is usually fine. 4 ales available on the 6 handpumps on my latest visit with a not particularly inventive selection on them as with many pubs around here. Spitfire, Pride, Harveys etc. It's always been a decent, if not outstanding pint though which is why I much prefer the "works do's" to be here rather than the Puzzle across the road. Lots of screens to watch the football on as well. It's a good solid pub.

A fairly sizeable late Victorian corner pub situated away from the more touristy areas of Westminster. The spacious interior has a few partitions and raised areas but still seems quite open and cavernous. One corner is devoted to tub seats and sofas whereas the rest is of a more traditional pub style. A good number of Ales (HBB, Pedigree, Bombardier, Spitfire Deuchars and Youngs) of decent enough quality and reasonably priced for the area. It can get busy with large groups of office workers who can get quite vociferous. Well positioned plasma screen and a few fruit / quiz machines and I am sure they once also had an upright piano for those Knees Up Mother Brown moments but I didn't recall seeing it on my recent visit. There is an upstairs dining / function room and outside seating but basically, this is a no thrills, no nonsense, does what it says on the tin kind of pub and whilst it lacks any great draw, it just about merits its slightly above average rating for its number of Ales. Apart from that,it's not really a place to go out of the way for.
