Sadly gone. Lease expired and owners won't renew. To be converted into offices.

I have to say I'm with Thirstyboy on this one. The GW is a dump. Known it for many years and it's alwasy been one to walk past.

To the people who enjoyed this pub and said they would come back I ask - "what the hell are you talking about?"
This place is a shit hole. The net curtains and red velour chairs hark back to a distant time and if you look closely at them you can see the layers of dirt on them as sure as an archeologist can peer back through time. The bogs are abysmal, if I dropped a tenner on the floor I would be frightened to pick it up in case I caught something.
This quietest of pubs has six (6!) lagers on, who the hell is drinking enough of these to ensure the barrell hasn't been sitting in the celler for weeks cos I very rarely see more than two people in here and one of them is Pete, your local, friendly, racist host.
And why bother paying for a Sky subscription when there are two manky portable tellys bolted to the wall - hardly a viewing pleasure, if you get to see the screens through the grime.
The conversation when I was last in at the bar revolved around the fancy new flats being built everywhere in the area and how it would change things but don't worry boys I really doubt if any of the new residents will be bothering you by coming in and having a drink - not twice at least.
I love friendly, cosy little local pubs but this is certainly not one of those!

One of the better Pubs I visited choice real ales tim taylors or london pride .cosy dominated by members of some polittical group ,customer's pleasant yeh not bad .
|
Poxy little hole with no customers,would rather sit in my hotel room by myself and drink?
|
A good little old fashioned pub, with friendly staff and good selection of ales. Very small and cosy.

By the time I got to this place, I was pretty buzzed. It was close to my hotel so I dropped in for a pint, as I spied TT Landlord on offer. The place was absolutely empty and the barman was leaning against it, asleep, holding his newspaper. I woke him up, ordered a pint and waited to see when I would be joined by another customer. Drank my pint, still no one came in and decided to go back to hotel and crash. The pint was okay and I'd probably give this place another try next time I get to Paddington area. I'll bring a friend along.

Certainly agree with Tburrows rather than Zagreb. The Landlord seemed like a good bloke to me though I didn't get to meet any of the other staff on my recent visit as it was pretty quiet due to the superb weather. Only gripe would be that the London Pride was off leaving no real ale available.

What a dump. Bar staff are the most ignorant arseholes, not particularly busy, but 2 of them preferred cleaning glasses to serving. After 10 minutes I walked out, unserved.
|
Friendly pub with mostly locals but pleasant to me as a tourist. The Guinness here is extremely fresh, and the owner was quite welcoming.
