One of our favourite pubs. Good range of beers here. As its a basement bar, we would probably prefer the Stockbridge Tap during the summer.

Essentials

We are lucky to have a Waitrose as the closet supermarket to our flat. Like Whole Foods in the USA, but more affordable.

The Modern Art and Dean Galleries are a short walk from the flat. A nice shortcut is through the Dean Cemetery. Good cafes at both galleries.
