I did a Porter using it last year....OG 1.060 and it finished at 1.022 so not massive attenuation. Initially I wasn't sure, but after a month or two in the bottle it turned out very nice. I was following the Graham Wheeler Fullers London Porter recipe.
Have a look here :-

I've used it in my Turbo beers :-). As TS says it's a medium attenuating so the FG will be a bit high, probably OK in a porter.

Thanks guys for the info. yeah that FG is a bit on the high side like you say, perhaps I'll use a British ale yeast of some kind, I'm aiming for an FG of around 1014.
The recipe I've got is Guinness single stout porter recipe from 1883, I probably should use an Irish ale yeast really I guess.....:drink:

Nottingham might work and is cheap and reliable. I did an ESB clone starting at 1.060 with WLP 002 the Fuller's strain, and was surprised it took it down to 1.016. Both times I've used 002 this year its ended up with a lower FG than I was expecting....quite like that yeast.
