14:55 I used to work in the former railway offices that the pub now occupies. Always a touch of nostalgia drinking here.

Mid evening. Although much more relaxed, as it was a Sunday evening midst a bank holiday, this is still not a place to tarry.

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.
