A mixture of office workers and tourists made this a busy spot, with the bar staff seeming to have absorbed the stress that the workers had come here to relieve, and the piles of glasses waiting their turn in the washer can't have helped. The blackboard promised "New! Bombardier 4.1%" but instead I had a choice of Wells Eagle IPA and a rugby themed special from Flying Monk, which was in good condition. The main interest for me was the series of booths, wood panelled, in a sort of corridor along the front on the pub, labelled "Trap 1", Trap 2", and so on, as though half a dozen greyhounds were about to be let loose from them. No such excitement occurred however. Speaking of excitement, a group of photographs of scantily clad Edwardian women attracted my attention, so I wouldn't mind returning next time I'm in the area.

a characterless central London pub. the David Hasselhoff picture was behind my head and it was probably the most interesting thing about the place, two dull real ales were available. Wham on the speakers and highly irritating Canadian tourists talking utter bollocks next to me hardly helped my mood in here.

Once the Old Parr's Head and later the Horns, and not a talking, self-driving car in sight. There is an autographed picture of David Hassellhof behind the bar, all explained by this pub's location on historic Knightrider Street.
A dreary pub which one could mistake for some sort of conversion in a modern office building; a characterless tourist magnet situated between the Millennium Bridge and St. Paul's Cathedral. Lots of pale wood with settle booths and conventional furniture and a modern bare boarded floor. Muted funk music played on the gramophone lighting was unusually bright. A modern helical staircase leads down to the loos and more formal dining.
Ales: just Greene King's Abbot and Moreland's Old Golden Hen at £4.20 a pint (incredibly cheap for the area) and ok.
I can't envisage a return visit.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Centre Page
Inconspicuous pub near St Pauls cathedral, with a board noting that it used to be called the Horn Tavern. The interior is irregular in shape, offering a mixture of seating including some booths along a side corridor. Wood panelling. Silent sports TVs and background music. When open, further space available in the 'Boardroom' downstairs and 'Dickens Room' upstairs (neither visited). Two of three handpumps in operation, dispensing Seafarers and Spitfire (£3.75, and served in the right glass) when I called in.

This is a forgettable pub that I usually have to wait a while in to be served in due to the tourists struggling to order at the bar when there is only ever one member of staff behind the jump. Food is served which also adds to the excruciating wait and if it wasn’t on Knightrider Street I wouldn’t return – Yes I’m that sad!
On a plus note there is a great view of St Paul’s Cathedral walking up from the Millennium bridge to this pub.
