It was previously a fairly basic locals' pub (see <a href="https://london.randomness.org.uk/wiki.cgi?id=Windsor_Castle%2C_E5_8EQ&version=2">older version of this page</a> for a description) but underwent extensive refurbishment in 2013 and opened under new management on 3 May 2013, with more of a focus on local ales. It then closed again in September 2018, as noted above. |
[[Kake]] et al. visited in September 2010 as part of the [[Category 38 Bus Route Pub Crawl|38 bus route pub crawl]]. There was no real ale, so we had Guinness instead. There were a fair few people in, all watching the football which was showing on a big pull-down screen and one of the three normal TVs scattered around the place. Small bowls of crisps and snacks were laid out along the bar — it wasn't obvious whether this was a regular occurrence, or some kind of special occasion, or because of the football. |

There are a few pool tables towards the back. Accessibility: Small step up to get in. Some of the seating is on a raised dais. Step-free to toilets (ladies' at least) once you're in. |
