This is quite simply a fantastic pub. Great beer, great architecture, great food and a lovely atmosphere. Everything a pub should be but about 90% sadly aren't.

One of the best kept secrets in South London. A drinkers delight! Enjoy!

Sorry konarob, having been attracted by the positive reviews, this North London lad got his passport out and went ‘Deep South’ Thursday evening to visit.
Excellent back street traditional corner boozer which is a little difficult to search out but well worth the hunt.
I know I am repeating a lot of what has gone before but here goes.
Traditional old style public and saloon bar layout either side of a central serving area. The public is plain but lighter and airier than the saloon bar, having light coloured walls above wood panelling and wooden seating. Whereas the saloon has the more comfy chairs but with dark burgundy flock wall paper.
The full range of Harveys ales with both Light and dark Milds, Pale Ale and Sussex best through to the Porter and Armanda. So as you can see the budget effect when comparing to love_good_ales’s posting from a year ago, these are now £2.80 for the Milds , through to £3.40 for the Porter and £3.50 for the Armada.
I tried both milds and they were excellent, and at 3% the Dark Mild proves you don’t need a high abv to get flavour.
The deal with Fuller still appears to be in place, and there was a lone Chiswick hand pump hidden away , almost in shame, around the saloon side.
Also full range of Harvey’s Ciders seemed to be available as well…

One of the best pubs in London: less quirky than the Wenlock, less crowded than the Harp, less touristy than the Lamb. A great range of beers including two milds, and the food was good (rabbit stew which was pretty much half a rabbit and some mashed spuds and veg!). A good and welcoming atmosphere too, open to all.
