Pleasant enough small back-street Fullers pub but offering nothing special. Only two ales but the Pride was in excellent form (well, let's face it - it didn't have to travel far). Overall I rate it only slightly above average.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Cross Keys
Excellent Fullers pub, with a friendly 'local' atmosphere. Not much space in the front part of the bar, but if you proceed down the side you will find a rather larger lounge beyond (with unusually light furniture and decor for an otherwise traditional London pub). Small patio at the front and beer garden to rear. Beer-wise, it is only Pride and one other (currently Black Cab stout) from the bank of four handpumps, but the quality is first class. Well worth seeking out.

The Cross Keys is a smallish, traditional Fullers pub situated in a residential area between the Great West Road ( A4) and Hammersmith's King Street. It's on the other side of the A4 from the better known Black Lion.
It's a pleasant pub with much light pine wood panelling. A small L shaped bar at the front leads into a larger open area behind and an outside garden with a covered smoking shelter.
The pub has a real community feel and it's evident that much work is done in raising money for charity. A framed print of a magazine article tells us that this is James May's local and he describes it as a proper local "free of the distractions of passing trade". A "Chippy Menu" is offered, which is basically chips with whatever takes your fancy.
On my recent visit, 3 of the 4 pumps were serving London Pride and the other one Seafarers. Perhaps the absence of passing trade means that there's no need to offer a wider range of Fullers beers - eg Chiswick, ESB.
This is a perfectly adequate, if unremarkable, pub in an area where traditional community locals seem to be desperately thin on the ground.
