Large and busy open-plan, split level pub opposite Victoria station. Licensed c 1785 as the Shakespeare; when it was rebuilt in 1870 it boasted the longest bar counter in London. Now much altered and wholly modern in style. Down two steps is a designated dining room and below is a cavernous cellar bar (Platform 22) with intimate alcoves. Under licensing restrictions, beer drinkers on Fridays and Saturdays may have to make do with plastic drinking containers. There is security on the doors. Normally four ales are available here and the footfall is sufficient for the pub to keep them in reasonable quality. There is a good selection of food including pub classics, Sunday roasts and a kids menu.
