| This pub has been split in to two distinctly different venues, each with their own style and entrance. As such, it should perhaps merit two separate listings, although they are clearly related as they both have London in the name and the screens around the pavement seating outside both venues have the same London Inn branding. The venue to the right, which is known as The London or The London Inn depending on where you look, has a much more contemporary bar like feel to it and is presumably designed to attract a younger crowd. A band was playing in there on a recent Thursday evening. We opted for the London Oak however, and this is an all together more traditional pub with a low ceiling and plenty of (oak?) beams around, both on parts of the walls as well as the ceiling. Carpet covers the floor and there is a wood panelled bar in one corner which all the punters were gathered leaving the tables and chairs elsewhere deserted. A plasma was mounted on a wall in the corner, but the volume was not on. Instead background pop music was playing. A number of mirrors adorned the walls, many being beer branded including one from the now defunct Bristol brewery Smiles. Menus were out on all the tables at 9:45, even though a sign said that food was served until 8:00. From a quick glance it looked to be a mass produced laminated affair with the usual pub staples such as Chicken Curry. The chef was drinking in the bar and appeared somewhat the worse for wear, so it�s just as well that they had stopped serving. There is also a Mexican restaurant upstairs which is accessed from inside the pub. Despite the "extensive range of good beers" advertised on their website, the solitary one on offer was Gem. Ciders were Blackthorn and Thatcher�s Gold. This has got the potential to be a decent and cosy pub, but the rather boisterous clientele that were there on a recent visit created a less then relaxing atmosphere and they really need to do something with the choice of beer.

| As stage1 says, splitting the place in to two seems a bit odd, as before it was quite a decent sized pub with a bit of character. The hlaf that we went in seemed rather lacking in any character, with a few stools scattered about and a plasma. They seem to do a few music/open mic nights, but it didn't seem to bring many punters in. There are a few tables outside if you want to watch the world go by. Blackthorn - 15 Apr 2009 16:57 |
| Had a huge refit a year or so ago with new ownership and is now split (oddly) into two bars, the london inn and london oak. The "inn" part is a trendy wine bar, and the oak part is a cosy snug bar. Prices for food are OK, have an extensive choice of sausages!, Only bath gem on tap though but made up for by presence of thatchers gold. hurrah. stage1 - 9 Apr 2009 21:28 |
| Not the cleanest of pubs. Ordered a meal and when it arrived, it wasn't exactly what I ordered. (I asked for chips and salad and got hand grenades (oops, I mean new potatoes) and veg. Despite pointing this out to the staff, there was no attempt to rectify it and they just walked off and ignored us. Beer was passable The_Minders - 18 Jul 2005 21:49 |
