This wood-panelled wooden floored corner lounge bar, halfway between Hammersmith Broadway and the Olympia complex, has an attractive and cosy feel about it, though it can become very busy when there is an event on at the latter. There are a few high tables and stools at the front, but the room is mostly furnished with dining tables, banquettes and stools. The pub is well lit through leaded windows and at the far end of the bar is a delightful exposed brick alcove complete with large fireplace, often containing a real log fire in winter.

The ale handpumps are now reported in use somewhat patchily but if your luck is in, one or two ales could be available. On the food front, a good selection of pub classics is offered at lunchtimes and added to the menu in the evenings are well-made stone-baked pizzas. There is additional seating on the upper floor, reached via a semi-spiral staircase at the front of the bar, and this can be reserved for functions.

Gentlemen may wish to admire the unusual design of their facilities: a good example of recycling!

Historic Interest

This pub was first licensed as a beer house in 1864, rebuilt by the Camden Brewery in 1925 and run for many years by the Finch’s chain.
