Early Monday evening visit. I had hoped to have a bit of a look round and maybe take some photos, but the pub was packed and I ended up out on the pavement. This is a tourist part of London in the evenings. London is not short of tourists these days and I was to discover today that they do like their pub dinners.

Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - Summer Ale3.90AcceptableThis was almost quite an exciting beer when it was launched back in the mid-1990s as a pale, summer, quaffing beer. But it’s been treading water for a long time whilst crisper, tastier, more contemporary, refreshing beers have come along. Now seems a bit bland.

Evening until close. Bar service not always searching for next customer.

Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - Chiswick3.50ExcellentFirst rate. A good English bitter, much more palatable than London Pride when in good condition

The start of a long day visiting CAMRA RI pubs and riding on Southern PSUL trains. Before noon here so quiet. Had a good look around including upstairs.
