    Dropped in for a pint following our ABBA experience. Great pub - friendly and welcoming. A mix of ages, singles, couples and families, so basically, something for everyone. The rainbow flag behind the bar was a welcome sight. I felt the prices were very reasonable. Thank you to all the staff for helping to make our London weekend one to remember.

    Came here with the wife to watch the footy before heading to ABBA afterwards. Always a bit dubious walking into a new pub, especially one in an area I’m not familiar with but needn’t have worried, no problems at all, food was excellent, atmosphere was great, not too busy and i was well watered by the time we left to prepare me for the trauma of having to sit through ABBA, proper old pub 👍. ABBA turned out to be great as well 😂

    Average local boozer with a good selection of beers.

    This was our go to spot during our vacation. Very welcoming staff with a friendly environment. Spent a lot of time at the pool table. This will be my first stop each visit to London. Zachary says sorry for spilling the beer

    I don’t drink that much and am not keen on “pub vibes”.. but personally I felt comfortable while being here. Staffs were attentive and helpful, and even offered us a free pint of Kronenburg for the delayed pizza. I had read several reviews saying that the pizzas are good before visiting. They’re not lying and I won’t lie either. It was undoubtedly one of the best pizzas in my whole life. It was more than worth the wait. Simple but top notch flavour with good ingredients.
