Warwick Castle

Pub with a dark green frontage, blending with the rest of the terrace. Dating from 1846 the pub has kept various Victorian features despite some modernisation and is featured in CAMRA's London Regional Inventory of Pub Interiors. Artist and illustrator Edward Ardizzone painted the pub in 1927 and his illustration also forms the frontispiece of Maurice Gorham's book "Back to the Local". Note the leaded windows with varied shades of coloured glass inserts.

Inside are three drinking areas and a secluded side room with marble fireplace; in the main bar area there's a warming living fire in the grate. There are four cask ale handpumps, selling at reasonable prices by London standards. The house cask beer is appositely and amusingly named "Made of Ale"! An interesting food menu offers a variety of dishes including pub classics and roasts on Sundays.

The area around is very mixed and hence the clientele is likewise eclectic which, along with the staff, creates a welcoming comfortable atmosphere in the pub. The venue has been described as "a must-visit pub if you are in W9".
