Late evening visit. Not sure why I bother with this one, generally uncomfortable seating and an insistence on playing loud music when everyone seems to want to just talk.

5pm visit. Place was absolutely heaving, but still managed to get served within 2 minutes

Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - Chiswick3.50ExcellentClear as a bell and intensely hoppy in a floral rather than citrus way, thankfully. Very nicely kept.

Mid afternoon visit. Busy but found somewhere to prop up my pint in between gulps. Very well appointed loos by the way.

Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - Chiswick3.50ExcellentBiscuity, hoppy little thing. Perfect conditioning. Lively without being rampant; someone here knows what they're doing.

Central London may be pretty much devoid of Londoners this week, but it is teeming with tourists, and this new pub is rapidly becoming a major tourist magnet. Packed out in the early evening. Most were seeking out the quintessential English pub experience – a pint of Guinness and a plate of fish and chips, as dictated by their guidebooks. I liked the décor, if not the crowds.

Evening. Alright not the best time to visit with an abundance of once-a-yearers but this was just a noise shop with everyone everywhere shouting to each other. Worst pub experience of 2014 but I am sure it will be a goldmine for Fuller's.
