The interior is reasonably-sized and quite ornate, with carvings on the chairbacks, murals on the walls <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/2018847183/ photo]</small>, and decorative pillars. Seating is a mix of sofas, banquettes, high stools and tables, and normal-height chairs and tables.

They have six handpulls, offering Fuller's ales including seasonal specials. In May 2013, these were Brewers Brass (&pound;1.95/half), Spring Sprinter, ESB, and London Pride; they also had keg London Porter, Honey Dew, and Aspalls Cyder on tap. On the same visit, [[Kake]]'s first pint of lime and soda was &pound;1.20 and the second was &pound;1.40, for some reason. When [[bob]] visited in November 2007, the Pride was very drinkable.
Toilets downstairs. There might be a lift.

In May 2013 [[Kake]] tried the puy lentil, feta, and tomato salad (&pound;9.25) <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/8842017904/ photo]</small>. It was fine, though the lentils were a little too <i>al dente</i> for my taste, and it was pretty expensive for what it was.
Fairly big place; note it's barely open at all on weekends. Food served noon-9pm weekdays, according to the Good Beer Guide.
== Line 10 ==
As of May 2013, they have free wireless via O2; join the network, visit any web page and you'll be redirected to a form where you can put in your mobile number and they'll text you an access code. It's not clear how you can use this service if you don't have a mobile phone with you.

Accessibility: Several steps at the entrance. The toilets are down a flight of stairs, and if there's a step-free way of getting down there, it's not obvious.
