Shaw’s Bookseller’s

A gastro, multi-level pub with a lower pit of wooden tables, floorboards, light green walls and a few steps up sits a medium sized bar- completely packed with people (this would be a friday afternoon) but less crowded during the week I am told. The place has character and generally popular with the after-work crowd of young suited professionals but this is all also reflected in the unfortunately high prices. One pint of cider and one double vodka later the price hits £9 and i feel it in the wallet. Okay they do actaully have a better variety of cider’s than a lot of pubs and similiar gastro’s all over london but there was not enough space to stand any closer to the bar than 10m down the road.

Overall a very nice place to enjoy a pint - as long as you enjoy the view of the pub from afar and can afford to delve into the assorted treats that the bar has to offer - 5/10
