Superb!!!! Beautiful building. Lovely interiors. Staff were all amazing. The welcome was so kind and warm. Sunday lunch was extraordinarily wonderful! Oh wow! Delicious. Very generous plates. Hearty dishes. Great wines and cocktails. This place really delivered. We loved being there. We were so impressed and ever so grateful to the whole team. Thank you.

I was here with my friends that have been living in London for many years. Perfect place, quite, nice and peaceful.

Hope to come back next time in London!

Loved this pub! Such a great atmosphere! The interiors match the exterior and make you feel in a different age.. Has plenty of space indoors and outdoors! Came here to have a whiskey and I was impressed by the good selection of scotch! Prices were also quite affordable in my opinion. Staff is really friendly and welcomes you with a smile.. also quite knowledgeable..
