I have 20 minutes in hand before a northbound train – time for a quick half in here (£2:07). It is relatively quiet at 5pm, before the evening rush hour picks up.

My train home from St Pancras was cancelled so I popped in here for a pint whilst waiting for the next one. I did not make a note of all the beers on offer but there was a superb range of Fullers and other breweries beers on offer. I have read that this pub has the highest sales of cask ales in the Fullers' estate.
