The Royal Horse Guardsman is a small single bar street corner pub close to Brentford football ground. A former Courage (ex Ashby's Brewery) pub it closed 13th Jan 2008 and reopened as a Free House on 8th December 2010. Very much a locals pub. Externally, the pub retains evidence of its former days as a Courage pub and a floor mosaic by the entrance denoting Ashby's Ales reflects even earlier ownership. Despite the bare boards, the interior is comfortable, if somewhat devoid of character, although some etched glass windows bearing the pub name add a bit of cosiness.
