I am not going to lie — The Farriers Arms is a pretty awful pub. Small, dingy, run down and a little unhygienic looking for my liking. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not snobby and I really like little undiscovered pubs which honestly represent London, but this one just simply isn’t very nice. There are probably a handful of locals who spend most of their time here and so when someone new walks in, you immediately feel all beady eyes upon you. The staff didn’t do a great job of making my friend and I feel particularly welcome and I was tempted to just walk out but didn’t want to appear rude which is quite ironic considering they probably would have preferred us to leave. The toilets aren’t very clean and I found the bar staff(or the one member of staff) to be quite unfriendly. I’m sure those six locals like it here, but I wouldn’t brave it if I were you.
