Judging by the below reviews, this place evidently has a sizeable local following. By far its strongest point is the tremendous and seemingly unspoilt interior decoration - bits of the pub, and particularly the dining area at the back, can't have changed much since the Victorian era. It's not on the CAMRA Heritage Pubs list (I've just checked) but perhaps it should be.

Pub-wise, it's very much a locals' boozer of a somewhat down-at-heel kind, but I did note that, unusually and laudably for a pub of this kind, it was serving two ales: Deuchar and Directors when I visited. It was rather dark and depressing on the afternoon I visited, but perhaps that's the price paid for preserving the interior as they have done.

It's alright, food looks quite nice, but I've never indulged. Only criticism would be the fairly large (but friendly-ish) dog that was lying around, tripping me up.

I moved away a year and a half ago and i had many a lock in with them. i have only just found out thru this site. i am in shock. they were the only pub in london that i have ever had the village feel as i had in cornwall..

We've set up a Facebook site for all Brownswood lovers (it's like a big old dysfunctional family anyway). Go to facebook and look up the Brownswood Park Tavern Appreciation Society!
