This place is great. I come here a couple of times a week. Its great for Breakfast and coffee (nice cookies on offer at the moment), a quick snack after work and getting a gut full on a friday. DJ plays once or twice a month on a friday.

I found out it had A dining room/lounge upstairs. Nice and chilled for a more intemate evening. Food wasn't bad either!

It looks really shabby from the outside but who looks after a couple!]]> Fri, 09 May 2008 17:57:00 +0000 /review/uk/london/bar-pub/179xb8/the-elgin/1t98k81424241768 jonsnow 51.530028491852 -0.18637648082066 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/bar-pub/179xb8/the-elgin/100728

I love the Elgin. It is the quintessential corner pub that has transformed itself from a stuffy, smoky, old man's hangout to a contemporary, relaxed but lively gastropub.

The decor is modern and the flat screen TVs are avidly watched by sports fans during the big sporting events. For those people without a sporting interest, the large windows give a good view on the street outside.

The food is wonderful - general pub food (salads, sandwiches, pasta, burgers) but all very nicely done and presented. The cappuccinos are excellent - as I discussed with my friend today, they are probably the best I have had in a pub.

Generally the staff are friendly and responsive.

Free wifi is the icing on the cake.]]> Sat, 09 Feb 2008 16:44:18 +0000 /review/uk/london/bar-pub/179xb8/the-elgin/1007281620393173 GreenHippo 51.530028491852 -0.18637648082066
