Civilised experience at Duke on the Green

Located across the Green from the more famous White Horse, this pub is proving competition for its more widely-known compatriot. Long gone are the hoards of footy fans that rampaged through here on the way to Craven Cottage, and a much more civilised experience is on offer.

Thankfully, the lovely Victorian tile work at the front of the pub has been left intact after the last refurb - it positively glows. There's an extensive international wine list, and the beers on the pumps are all Wells and Young's, hardly surprising as they had a massive presence just over the river until recently.

The food looks good, if a little pricey (even for London), but that's probably a by-product of where it is. And it doesn't seem to stop the locals tucking in. Worth a look - particularly if you can't get into the pub across the way.
