The Florence comes to you from the same people behind The Cock & Hen in Fulham, and like that one this is a makeover of a very blokeish boozer. Here, where once there was Sky Sports and Oirish decor, now there are arty light fittings and a pastel colour scheme. Only of interest to the three-wheeler brigade then? Well no. Some of the old regulars can still be found, studying the form in the racing section of the papers, but more to the point this is still a pub where you can go to just to enjoy the booze. And like the Cock & Hen it's one that not only has a fine selection of beers on tap, but also one brewed on site (here it's their Weasel bitter). Perhaps the only problem this one now has is its similarity to the local competition: still, the friendliness of the staff and the quality of the fare on offer mean that The Florence is very hard to knock.
