I shuddered when I clocked the Greene King signage ,but this small pub set in a 30's office block was bearable.It's quite small with a rank of high tables by the entrance,some more to the right side then some more traditional dining tables.No real features but a friendly welcome and efficient bar service always helps with an ale range of GK Abbot,IPA and St Austell Tribute (reasonable nick ,NBSS 3.5) with a further pump reversed.Standard food menu but not rip off prices given it's tourist location,maybe the fact it's tucked away keeps the hords away.Functional,not worth a special visit but could have been worse.

This is a relatively modern pub, being built in 1932 into part of the ground floor of an office development.
This is a small, part carpeted affair, with wallpaper resembling patterned bathroom tiles, though the typical Greene King nods are all here; framed prints anyone? What did mark this pub out though, despite the few customers, was the vast army of used glasses taking up most of the bar space, despite the staff having little to do; I took my seat at a table which too, you guessed it, was littered with empty glasses. Customers seemed local, but I can’t image where they’d come from.
The inevitably predictable ales were offered, just Abbot and GK IPA, so £3.30 was spent on a half of Neck Oil.
This is a poor pub, so I can’t recommend it; the Red Lion over the road is vastly superior.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Three Crowns

Quite a compact pub, with a short street frontage and an unhelpful layout when it gets crowded which means that getting served can be quite a challenge. However, unlike may other establishments in the area, this Taylor Walker oulet does have quite a reasonably cozy and authentic pub feel. Five handpumps on the counter, with 1730, Greene King IPA and London Glory, Twickenham Sundancer and Windsor & Eton Canberra (£4.60 less 10% Camra discount) on offer this time round.
