wasnt a bad pub a few years back with a disco and 1am licence.Now it has no music or sports showing there,just a few tv`s that repeatedly show a picture of hammersmith bridge which become very tedious..clientele is a bit more reserved nowadays.i hardly go in there,cant remember the last time i did.
