The exterior is the best bit with a traditional street corner feel, an impressive brass railing running below the windows and an upper windows frieze advertising what libations you could order insidde.
The apex door open into a stripped out interior with a drinking shelf running around the periphery with bar stools.The rest of the dark wooden floor is for vertical drinking,while a rear staircase leads to the Cromwell Bar,unvisited by me but bookable for an event.The mirrored bar back is decent while the 7 handpumps splits into 3 and 4 were offering on my trip Black Sheep Bitter,GK Abbott,TT Landlord and St Austell Tribute (NBSS 1.5).You will find that ale line up at hundreds of London pubs ,so it's nothing out of the ordinary which also sums up my feelings about this pub.

A small traditional corner pub with a well-run, efficient feel and some sensible beers despite being a Greene King house. The ground floor bar is mainly for vertical drinking, with a few stools, and another bar is signed upstairs. Draught beers at time of visit were TT Landlord, Black Sheep Best Bitter, Deuchars IPA and Wadworths 6X plus IPA and Abbot of course.
