Located in a railway arch, a short hop across the road from Waterloo rail station's main entrance, this independent family-owned free house enjoys the comforting rumble of trains overhead on their way to and from Charing Cross. The pub has a small cosy rugby themed front bar, a larger more basic rear bar showing sport on TV with a small heated patio at the back. A long time real ale stalwart, with four handpumps in the front bar and six dispensing cask ales in the rear bar, mainly from London and southern England breweries. The two ciders on handpumps do not comply with CAMRA’s definition of real cider. The pub can get particularly busy when there’s a rugby game at Twickenham. Live Irish acoustic folk music plays on Sunday evenings.
