Final pub on a walk from Bloomsbury Street to King's Cross, I don't think I have been here before. A light and airy pub with friendly staff.

A lively hum to the place for a Sunday evening. Couple of tables free, we plonked ourselves down in one of the comfy leather-setteed booths. Mulled wine had run out much to Mrs Dubbel's disappointment. She settled on a Fruli instead. Can't vouch for the food, although the menu looked interesting and varied enough.

The pub is found in Bloomsbury, Central London, WC1N 1AP.

Decent-sized open plan unbranded M&B pub just up the road from Russell Square. Gets busy on weeknights. 4 handpumps plus an impressive range of draught lagers, wheat beers, ciders and wines (including mulled wine in winter). Food served until 9pm.

We have visited this pub twice, seen 6 different beers and tried 2 of them.
