I'd been meaning to get to this pub for years, unfortunately I always seem to come to London at the weekend, when this pub is closed. It is really strange to have a historic pub like this in the area it's in. Really busy, we managed to bag a couple of stools and got in peoples way. I'll definitely be back.

| Caledonian - Elf Esteem | 4.00 | | My first mouthful was almost overpoweringly sweet, but then i adjusted to it and it grew on me a little. I'd like to try it again but first impression is a bit so-so. |

What a great pub but what a difficult one to find - I had to ask a security guard on a near by road. I only had 10 minutes before I had to get back to a presentation. The locals (and they were locals because they knew the staff by name) were friendly and helped me get served. I'll say it again; what a great pub.

Friendly knowledgeable service in an old (16th C) pub, small wood panelled rooms off the main bars and a function room upstairs - Will visit again.

Possibly my new favourite London pub. Snug in the lounge is called Ye Closet. Toasted sandwiches at £1.50. Mid Friday PM, moderate number of regulrs in, but just a perfect pub. Dark wood panelling in wonderful, plus wooden seats lining the walls. Staff take pride in their job.

Tuesday early evening and there were a fair number of people in. Just a wonderful pub with great atmosphere. Could stay here for ages.

| Orkney (Sinclair) - Dark Island | 4.60 | | Maybe had cider in the glass before, maybe young as had green apple flavour. Tight sparkler blands the flavour. Shame. |
