...great pub, perfect location...
	BULL'S HEAD	LONDON W4 3PQ	Thames Road Strand on the Green
	Strand on the Green is an oasis of calm, just a short walk from the frenzy of London's traffic. Here, on the north bank of the Thames, sits the Bull's Head. The tranquility broken occasionally by the rattle of passing trains on the iron bridge nearby. Over the centuries this pub has grown, higgledy-piggledy, the way that old pubs do. This has resulted in an interesting collection of rooms which vary in level and in character. The best ones, of course, have river views. As you'd expect from a pub of this age, it has low ceilings, timber panelling, creaking wooden floorboards, worn flagstones and subdued light from small leaded windows.	It is a popular pub, particularly at weekends and especially in the summer, when families fill the picnic benches on the towpath. The Thames is still tidal at this point and rises and falls by several metres. Opposite the pub is Oliver's Island, its name connected with Cromwell, who made the inn his headquarters at various times during the Civil War, and is supposed to have taken refuge on the island. There's a full and varied menu and well-kept real ales. The riverside walk is superb and, if you're lucky with the weather, makes a perfect day out.	© pubs.com 2000
