The Little Driver is still much as Rex described it four years ago, in addition there were four tv screens placed around the room, two were showing football, sound up, and two horse racing, sound down. The pub was well attended on a Sunday lunchtime and the atmosphere was very east end. There are three hand pumps on the bar, but disappointingly all were clipped with Pride.
Despite the singular ale choice I quite enjoyed this pub.

There were two ales on - GKIPA and London Pride - with a third handpump apparently unused. The GKIPA was advertised at £2.80 a pint, which is a very good price, with the Pride just a bit more expensive at £1.55 a half. Food is advertised on miniature chalkboards hanging from one of the walls, and included lots of pub grub staples, such as fish and chips for £6.95 and the all day breakfast for £5.50.
The magnificent, and enormous, Hoare and Co mirror still has pride of place on the right hand wall, and the bar back is rather nice, with some excellent floral themed mirrors on either side of a doorway. The panelling on the lower part of the walls also looks pretty ancient as well. Furnishings are metal framed tables and standard issue chairs. Free wi-fi is advertised. Once you look closely, there's a bit more to this pub than is immediately apparent. It's very East Enders - I even heard one of the locals call the barmaid treacle, and as she was English no doubt realised that it was a term of endearment!
This is a decent enough, unpretentious little place. A better ale selection would be a big plus, but nonetheless it's still OK as pubs go.
