Opposite the London Fashion College, this is a large corner pub with bars on two levels. The ground floor has wooden table & bench seating and a raised area at one end, while the basement is much plusher and features two self contained alcoves. Opened in 1996 on the site of a travel agent (hence the previous name) it was refurbished in 2014 with a name change and again in July/August 2024.
