Early afternoon to early evening, quiet upon arrival however this changed as the afternoon progressed. First NESW meeting for 18 months with a dozen or so participants. Modern trendy pub with a focus on ales from London breweries.

We arrived at this pub (a friend's local) before opening hours, so started with breakfast in the back room. Then into the front room when the appropriate hour was reached.
