Early evening soon after opening, and already a good few customers enjoying the ales. I picked up a few of the latest London travel maps and a copy of London Drinker. A great pity that the rail service to Ramsgate has suffered because of the Olympic timetable.

Curtailed mid to late evening visit due to Olympics driven cessation of high speed trains east of Ashford. A good crowd of locals in despite imminence of the Olympics opening ceremony on TV.
