Helpful & friendly staff. Good Guinness. Sadly they no longer serve food (we were here on a Friday evening). They had a live band playing music though, which was great.

One of London’s very best pubs, run by Yvonne, one of its greatest publicans. Even better on those special nights when Naz is behind the bar, pouring perfect pints and being an all round star.
