The Sea Horse is the most unfriendly pub in London. No contest. Following a pleasant summer's stroll over the Millennium Bridge, my three American friends and I were foolish enough to stop in this soulless, practically empty and hostile pub. After ordering three pints, I then asked for a glass of tap water for my teetotal friend. This request was not only illegally refused but was accompanied by an aggressive sermon on running a business. To cap it all, a four letter expletive was muttered as my friend quietly and with the utmost dignity walked out of this dismal venue. The Sea Horse gave unbelievably poor service. What an embarrassment in terms of representing our wonderful capital city at a time of great tension with the terrorist bombings. In my opinion, The Sea Horse is the worst pub in the UK where you are served by a landlord who talks the business but can't run one.

There's not really a heart and soul at The Sea Horse. It's a very small semi-circular pub with an arc of windows facing the pavement. There's a constant stream of office workers, but no real local crowd. The Sea Horse is also very quiet and has no atmosphere.
