picture of Rosemary BranchIn the urban sprawl somewhere on the west edge of De Beauvoir Town and a mile from any tube, the Rosemary Branch is a smart theatre pub that merits seeking out. The interior decoration is great: huge models of war planes hung from the ceiling, while post-industrial sculptures nestled between the plants. Art covered the walls and - as it's for sale by 'local' artists - is often changing. We were happy to see a good selection of beers, including Litovel and Fruli, along some well kept ales. The interesting theatre productions upstairs and an eclectic jukebox are the finishing touches to a good pub in an area that needs them.
