W'happened?? Puke green walls, pine furniture, bright lights? I visited this years ago and remember it as a decent boozer - small, comfy, good ale. Being in the area I made an effort to walk up from clapham junction. Wont be doing that again. Deserted at 8pm saturday. And I can see why. Only die hard locals remain, and they don't seem very happy. The paint work looks like it was slapped on by a drunken teenager. Beer passable. Avoid.

I previously thought the eagle was the only decent pub in this area and was pleasantly surprised to find theres 2! Its in the camra real ale guide and the nottingham gold went down a treat. definately worth the 5-10 min walk up the hill from clapham junction

Reasonable, small, friendly local north of Wandsworth Common. Somewhat quiet, though our visit was at 11.30 on a Saturday morning. Very nice pint of Gale's Seafarer, though would have also liked the option of Fuller's Chiswick. Not a bad jukebox either.

A really nice local pub situated on St. Johns Hill. Decently priced drinks served by friendly staff, live music every Thursday night and you may even get treated to a rendition of American Pie by the Landlord! It is a fun night out.
No garden but benches out front for the days.
Lunch is served 11-3pm and it is all traditional English food, also very fairly priced. A real nice local pub to be.

Hadn't been here for years, popped back in on a Sat lunchtime. Very quiet, and a not very good pint of ESB. Bit disappointed.
|
Had a guest beer on on my recent visit - Goddards from the Isle of Wight. Rather an average unremarkable pub in many respects, but the light pine wooden furniture puts me off
|
The building has a similar shape to Project Orange but the pub itself is very different.

Come here for a fuller's pub. unsuprisingly doesnt sell london porter. can try the pride, but i didnt like the way it tasted here. you can always entertain yourself by reading a real ale newsletter, but not one of the best pubs i've been to 3/10
|
Small pleasant locals pub - had better Pride though
|
We always pop in here on the crawl from Clapham Junction to Craven Cottage if going up for a match. The ESB and London Pride are always fantastic, the staff are friendly and the place is relaxed.

Very local. The barman looked positively scared of us. Nice pub though. Shame it's a bit to far to be considered one of my "locals".

Well, following my visit yesterday lunchtime, I thought that I ought to "update" my previous posting in October 2004. I still don't like the refurbishment - particularly the light brown coloured wooden seats and bare floorboards - but this is now a friendly, welcoming and otherwise traditional local, which I would definitely go back to. I particularly welcomed having 2 TV sets, which meant that I could see Paula Ratcliffe's progress in the marathon on one set and watch the Test Match on the other set by the front door simply by turning my head in the other direction. The TV's are not obtrusive or overloud, so dont dominate the pub to the detriment of conversation. This pub doesn't do food any more, but was nevertheless quite busy for an early Sunday afternoon. Good customer mix - the locals are friendly - and the London Pride was spot on. Well worth seeking out if in the area.
|
Beer is much improved - but the refurbishment is for the worse, all character and atmosphere has been destroyed. Very disappointing

GOOD NEWS! Got this from the new landlord.
"Yes, it closed on the 19th, but not for a
'young-persons' makeover. It is being updated with a
traditional feel and the beer will be much improved.
It might no longer be an 'old-fashioned boozer' but
it's certainly not going to be a 'young-persons' pub."
REOPENING 29th April 2004 and it all sounds very hopeful indeed.

Closing on 19th April 2004. Apparently to be given a 'young - persons' makeover. Its last days as an old-fashioned boozer have seen it fall into decrepitude. Very average beer and only worth visiting for the last rites. Sad end to what was once one of the best traditional pubs in SW London.
|
The last time I visited the beer was quite good (Fullers pride & Esb) and the atmosphere is quite friendly. A wide selection of background music on minidisc. No food. I found the place to be quite relaxed and welcoming.
|
Oh when will Fullers get some one to run this local pub who understands how to keep beer rather than the slops that seem to appear whenever I visit. Also looking rather tired nowadays
|
A Fullers Pub in Wandsworth (home of Youngs) - a rare treat, although a bit of an old mans pub.
