Evening. "We are closing tonight at 2130 hours". In business you have to speculate to accumulate and M&S and Sainsbury's were open to normal times.
This is highly annoying for a casual user at a nodal transport hub.

| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - Chiswick | 3.50 | | In good condition here, providing a good balance of biscuity malt and English hop bitterness to this quaffing bitter. My score 15/20. |

A comfortable relaxing place to wait for a train. I asked for Chiswick, but although there was a pump proudly displaying a Chiswick clip, I was told that this was not available so I settled for a London Pride instead. The station departure screens inside the pub are a useful feature of this place.

| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - London Pride | 4.10 | | A cool refreshing pint in good condition. |
