The atmosphere in here is, I have decided, remarkably similar to that in the staff canteen at my new workplace. Loud and functional.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Portobello - Star | 4.30 | | A very ordinary-tasting sort of Bitter, served in tired condition. Just about acceptable. |
| Adnams - Ghost Ship | 4.50 | Not Tried |

Mid-evening, pre-Sainsbury’s visit. There was a noisy quiz taking place, so I took my pint out on to one of the pavement tables at the front. Just one cask beer on the bar.

|---|---|---|---|
| London Beer Factory - Chelsea Blonde | 4.30 | | I know this can be a tasty beer, but this example was in rather lacklustre condition. |

Mid afternoon and fairly quiet, my first visit here, a large open plan layout reminded me of my old school dining room. A burger bar with real ales, a combination worthy of my approval.

A quick pit-stop on the way home after the long Overground Line haul from Kew to Stratford.

A quick one as I was passing. Very loud ‘background’ music did not make me inclined to linger.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |

| Big Penny (formerly Truman's) as of late 2022 contract brewed - Zephyr | 4.40 | | Amber-coloured. Sticky hop resins. |

A quick, post-shopping visit. Despite this pub’s name and its proximity to my house, I have yet to encounter any of my neighbours here.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| London Beer Factory - Chelsea Blonde | 4.30 | | Harmless, pale beer. |

I popped in for a quick late evening drink as I was between buses when I came out of Sainsbury’s. It has become rather expensive in here, but that does not seem to be putting off the crowds.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| London Beer Factory - Paxton Pale Ale | 5.00 | | I think this is the first time I have seen this beer in cask-conditioned format. I thought it was a really good, balanced, US-style Pale Ale with a citrus edge. Unfortunately I failed to notice which part of my tongue was being tingled. |

This pub is now surrounded by high-density flats and seems, whenever I walk past, to be a roaring success. A pleasant, if a bit noisy, place for a quick mid-evening pint on the way home from work.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| London Beer Factory - Chelsea Blonde | 4.30 | | On good form. Not bad at all. |

Unexpectedly busy in here. Three deep at the bar when we arrive in fact.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sunny Republic - Hop Dog | 5.50 | | In very good condition and I enjoy this. |

Right next door to Sainsbury’s – so I came in here with my groceries in the mid-evening, before braving the walk home in the cold. Customers outnumbered the staff, but only just.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adnams - American Style IPA | 4.80 | | Excellent, US-hoppy pint. In good condition and served at the right temperature. |
| Hanlons (formerly O'Hanlon's) - Firefly | 3.70 | Not Tried | |
