What a difference the staff make - this pub was going down hill at a rate of knots - but is now heading back to great pub it once was. Forget your cheap beer in the chain pub, this is a free house and you pay a bit extra. The prices are reasonable for SW London. The juke box has been updated with some newer rock stuff, but still retains the old anthems. Aerosmith to ZZ top via the Pogues, Sex Pistols, AC/DC, Zepplin, Radiohead - you name it it's here. Yes it's load - it's f**kin rock! If it's to load - you're too old. And you are going to have to be with some of the customers of the old rock school and pushing into their 60's. You may even get a visit from Ronnie Wood (the Rolling Stones) who is known to drop in on occasion. Go for it Noel.

We used your site to pick The Cavern. However I walked in and straight back out again. Only London Pride and a gassy beer (John Smiths?) available. We went down the road to the new Edward Rayne, which is right across from the station and, being a JD Wetherspoon, had a great choice of ales. I'm not suggesting any improvement in atmosphere, but we had a choice of beers (the Speckled Hen was good) and could definitely find somewhere to sit

Like Karloff I like the layout of this pub, but for me the music is too loud and it is too smoky. But that's just my subjective opinion - enjoy sitting outside in the late afternoon sun watching the world go by though. Not sure about the London Pride - suspect it is not the real ale version, but I could be wrong. Prefer the beer in the Raynes Park Tavern, which has a much larger range.

Good atmosphere, good music (lots of 70s rock) and London Pride in good condition: in all, a pretty decent Friday night out. This appears to be a recently-built pub converted from two adjoining shops – I guess around ten years ago. Two slightly raised areas at either side help to break up the layout and add to the cosiness. Tables with heavy wrought-iron bases must have been bought from an old Victorian boozer and help to give the place an authentic pub feel. Rock music photos and memorabilia all round the walls. I would definitely go back.

Cracking Pub! Best Jukebox in Britain, assuming you like good music and not pop/dance/r'n'b crap.

Could do with a few more Ales but thats just me.

Also, a few seats have seen better days and could use new covers but don't touch the tables or walls.
