11:45 Second stop. One other drinker when we went with the seemingly obligatory laptop. We decided that the fittings are not as old as they appear at first glance. I felt that there were too many cask beers on for a pub this small. It was notable that two other chaps who came in after us both went for lager.

Early evening visit. This is only a little pub and it was pretty crowded. Not cheap. Greene King house beer also sold.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cottage - Trick or Treat | 4.40 | | Chestnut-coloured. Heavy, warming, malt flavours. I found it rather hard work. |
| Greene King - IPA (was 3.6%) | 3.40 | Not Tried | |
| Greene King - Morland Old Speckled Hen | 4.50 | Not Tried |

The pub is found in Westminster, Central London, SW1Y 6QY.
An attractive pub, the frontage has elaborate bow windows with leaded-glass supported by marble pillars. Established in 1731, the present premises being an 1899 rebuild. There is a small bar area with a heavy wood bar back and wood and tile gantry. A second bar area at first floor level serves as a restaurant at lunchtime, and there are some pavement tables in the alleyway alongside. Was a Nicholson's pub for a while before passing to Greene King.
We have visited this pub twice, seen 7 different beers and tried 2 of them.
