If you had splashed out on decent mid-quality - not quite G-plan, more like D or E-plan - tables and chairs all round and had a gaff that was generally spic and span you'd be none too pleased if your nearest and dearest then slobbed around the place in begrimed and besmeared (if the word exists) overalls. Yet we were entranced by the workman who fastidiously wiped the top of the bar stool before planting his track-suited bottom festooned with nameless bits of dangly crud. OK we're not snobs and it's the public in all its shapes and sizes that make good pubs what they are - but we expect good manners and sensible management. It's a smart enough little pub which despite its recent makeover appears to retain some of the feel of a local while all around is gentrifying - an easy stroll takes you to Tate Modern. We like island bars, wood floors, various prints, clocks and mirrors and a decent pint of Pride or IPA to complement the third millennium standard of yellow fizz and super-cold offerings. We like the suits mixing with the overalls, and this afternoon visit may have caught the White Hart on an off day - but we didn't really feel like sitting down to think about it.
