This is a good back street pub that I've been going to since the 1980s when it was a popular venue for students and staff from St Thomass' Hospital . It's mostly used by locals, has several large screens for the sport and serves good beers in an atmosphere yet to be gentrified by the hipsters who populate nearby pubs in The Cut and Lower Marsh.

We popped in here early for a quick coffee & were so happy with the staff and the atmosphere, we returned after our visit to the Imperiel War Museum (5 minutes away).
It serves proper pub grub at great prices. Our traditional ham, egg & chips were properly cooked, not a cheap cut & perfectly cooked eggs.
Some of the other customers were obviously colourful locals & so friendly.
We loved this place with its wood interior, so heavily varnished the carvings are starting to disappear (beautiful) and we will return again purely to sit in a proper, no frills local boozer.

This pub is like a locals pub where you wouldn't necessary expect to find one. It is quite large inside and has a pool table and juke box. The staff are really friendly and they serve a good selection of beer and wine. The drinks are standard London prices, but not too overpriced. And its worth it for the atmosphere (unlike some chain pubs not too far away). The whole place is a little dated inside, but this adds to the charm.
It's only a ten minute walk to Waterloo and five minute walk to Lambeth North stations, so good if you're running for the last train!
