The only thing my father-in-law & I agree on is that this is a smashing pub!

Drunken boring old geezers can be found in the beer garden.

Beware sometimes they want to talk.

Stay inside even in the sunshine. Get your Vitamin B another way.

The Bell seems to retain a loyalty from its clientele however.

great pub - the locals are friendly enough, there's a decent range of beers, their quiz night is nicely pitched (not too hard, not too easy either). the place has a real feel of a proper pub, help in no end by the lovely folk running it. good dartboard was great, not fruit machine or jukebox even better, and now they've put a bit of effort into the terrace being smoker friendly they desrve the nobel peace prize! great pub - perfect local gem

It is been a long time since I visited. So relieved that this was still a wonderful local boozer. Even joined in the karoke - probably a sign that I was enjoying myself too much. Thanks to the locals who let us join in what could have been a private (birthday) party. I hope it is like this every night!

A lovely 'drinker' from my days living in the area during 1983-88. Managed by Mick Durose and his wonderful wife. She used to cook up a wonderful Cottage Pie along with other daily hot meals. Mick used to run yearly visits to the Young's Brewery in Wandsworth for the regulars - everyone got wrecked!
Fantastic ambiance, and Mick always kept the 'badderns' out and the regulars in. Most Sunday's was a raffle and the prize was a joint of meat.
Halcyon days!!
