I always pop in here when I am in Vauxhall. The staff and landlord are always friendly. Some people maybe put off the way it looks, but this is a good pub

Still a good real pub. God I miss the smoking though. I don't smoke myself but this place was built for smoke: dark wood, light shining through the beautiful windows catching the pall of smoke and beautiful old ceramic ashtrays on the tables.

Friendly local in the old style with a great interior.
|
Just fine - the Royal Oak has probably had been redecorated a few times since the 1950s but I'm betting the style hasn't changed.
By far the best pub around Vauxhall for a pint after the cricket - helped by the fact it's not on the direct route from the Oval to Vauxhall station

Having visited a few more pubs in the area, I can truely say that this is the best by far. Ok it doesn't have a patio garden, nor advertise free-range organic beef from the highlands of scotland, but what is does provide is good honest pub grub in good honest surroundings with the best pint of Guinness on earth.

I've been to this pub twice - Great Guinness, great landlord, great food - in fact the best sausage rolls that I've ever tasted - everything you want in a pup - this will be perfect come July ........ when they ban smoking
|
Very nice old pub - comfy old seating along one side under old "Bass" acid glass windows. All very Victorian and pleasant. Not too busy. Quiet music, slightly of the magic FM variety.
Ale - only Bass, but well kept & nice.

OK, this pub is a proper spit and sawdust place. No guest ales, just the standard beers and largers. It is mainly frequented by old men. But this is its charm. It is not a theme pub - there are no chocolate coloured faux leather sofas to be seen. Also the guy behind the bar is friendly aand warm. If your Irish you might like to know they stock Tayto crisps - a nice change from Walkers!

|
Nice little pub, very much in the traditional style, and mostly populated by locals.
