“The perfect Pub for me to find on my first trip to london. It was an accident but it was a blessing. This was totally ideal with leather sofas, old stingy aroma and plenty of beer and Brews on tap and Grumpy Old Men complaining about the taxman. Couldn't have been a more memorable experience 💙🙏”

“Quiet, classic Samuel Smith Pub. Nice staff and interesting local clientele. If your soul is in sorrow, have a pint. Great traditional pub if you fancy a digital detox (no phones or laptop).”
