One of the few local buildings to have survived the great Edwardian clearance scheme in the first few years of the twentieth century, this is a tucked-away pub off the beaten tourist track and worth finding. Close to the LSE and leased from it, the small bar has a cosy feel to it, possibly due to the blood-red colour of walls & ceiling. There is a raised seating area at the rear. Four handpumps but only one or two may be in use depending on demand. Food includes Sunday roasts. In spite of its closeness to the LSE there is no student discount, so expect a more mature clientele.
