A deceptively large and deep pub with three distinct areas but not, as it once claimed, the longest pub in London. Although part of the same premises as an hotel, dating from 1861, it is separately run and has no commercial connection. There are six cask ale handpumps in front part of the pub and more plus kegs at the back. A renovation at the end of 2017 led to a more Dickens-themed interior.

Information for this venue is provided by the West London Branch of CAMRA
