About Lord John Russell
A pleasant, traditional pub with six handpumps featuring one regular ale and as at Sept 2024 one guest from across the UK. Also of note is the large selection of malt whiskeys (50+) on sale.
There are two televisions and a big screen, which show sporting events. In addition an outside seating area is available. Situated in a street with a more quirky character than most. In the evenings the pub can be quite noisy. Stocks Budvar Dark which is rarely seen in the UK.

Great pub in an excellent location (especially as the wonderful North Sea Fish restaurant is round the corner!) Always really nicely chosen cask ales, good selection of other drinks too. Enjoyable inside, on my most recent visit I watched some of the Olympics and also sat outside for a while. Staff have an element of old-school about them, you can tell they know their trade. Always very popular, and the food sounds good too, I'll try that sometime.

My go to place when in Bloomsbury. Great tap list with 6 pumps on cask. The young lady on the day shift was very friendly and a pleasure to talk with. Very popular pub for the after work crowd while the day crowd is mostly pensioners. They serve food from lunch on and have a Sunday Roast offering for £14+ which is very reasonable at London prices. Only a short walk from St Pancras/ King's Cross station.

Pub near to Kings Cross Station. Does a superb pint of Budvar plus the rarer Budvar Dark.

Sunday Roast so had the pork roast with sausage stuffing, mashed potatoes, carrots, green beans, squash, Yorkshire pudding and applesauce. Delicious! The place was packed, yet service was fast. Had great ambiance.
