Came in here last night to watch the football. It's been a while since I last visited. The place is much as it was last time I was here and they still have a real ale. Last night it was Windsor & Eton Windsor Knot. Mainly filled with people from the North, perhaps working on the Crossrail extension. But a reasonably friendly crowd. I'll stick with a 4/10. But it's verging on a 5.

A real element of character here with sausage rolls and other snacks lining the bar when we arrived one Sunday lunchtime. Roasts were also on offer while the crowd was exceedingly local in a good way. I had a pint of St.James which went down well and this is a good option if conducting a Grand Union Canal walk. Pubs like this are a dying breed although the presence of a dog's jobbie at the threshold of the ladies' loo was a little startling. Lots of anti-drug notices too.

newly painted outside warm and welcome inside and a great pint of london pride

Visited here last night for the first time since it re-opened. The red lights in the bar have gone (except for one), which makes for a more pleasant drinking environment. In fact, the whole place has been given a much needed spruce up. The other room appears to have been converted from a restaurant area to a lounge. Service was friendly and on the whole the atmosphere is much more relaxed than the other surrounding pubs. Pride is the only real ale. There is a good selection of sambucas! I would return to this pub as it is so close to my home. I doubt I will pay return visits to most of the other pubs! They're simply awful.

Is now open again - not had a chance to pop in yet though!
|
closed, another one bites the dust
|
The naked women were probably in the Blues Bar (I think it used to be called Stations) a few doors up. My lasting memory of this pub was the red lights which gave the place a surreal atmosphere. A much more traditional pub than the others around. Now closed and up for sale.

At the time of writing (Sept 2008) this pub appears to be closed.
