The Duke of Cambridge, Battersea

Have used this pub a lot over the past six years or so - it has a friendly, laid back atmosphere and a good mix of genuine locals of all ages (though forever in danger of being overwhelmed by the sloaney set and their kids). Very unimpressed with some of the current crowd behind the bar - efficient and reasonably knowledgeable, but several are unfriendly (on occasion to the point of rudeness). If you want something similar, minus the attitude, try the reborn Castle on nearby Battersea High Street. Staff who care about the quality of your experience, interesting range of brews and less expensive, better food.
