Evening. Everyone seemed to be trying to talk making it so yesterday to have noisy music pumping out. Impersonal service. No evidence was extant that this is a Greene King house.

We found this pub by accident, we had intended to go to the Black Lion down the road, (not to be confused with the Black Lion Hampstead which is owned by the same group as this pub) and found it to be closed. On the basis of "lets find another pub while we wait for the next train", we popped in here and were delighted with the amount of original fixtures and fittings, and the range of beers on offer.
