Historical version 8 of Speaker, SW1P 2HA (view current version)

Good Beer Guide pub in Westminster.

Has four real ales on, of which two will normally be interesting (according to an advert in the Aug/Sep 2008 London Drinker magazine, the two regulars are Young's Bitter and Shepherd Neame Spitfire). They seem to showcase a different brewery every week. Also has regular beer festivals it would seem. On our November 2007 visit, Spitfire was £2.70 and Young's bitter was £2.60; both were drinkable (note that "drinkable" is a term of praise, coming from Bob).

Food seems to be a selection of sandwiches. The menus were still out in the evening so you may be able to get food then too.

The pub itself is quite small with the bar dominating most of the space. Was quite busy inside at 6pm but got quieter as time went on. Some of this may have been because it stopped raining so the smokers went outside.

Note that it doesn't open at weekends.
