The Lord Nelson, Southwark

This is a place I've walked past hundreds of times and never fancied. It's not going to win any awards for good looks and its location, as part of a corporation flats block, is not great but what lured me in the was the pop art collage panels that have appeared on the exterior. This look continues inside with a the walls covered in some rather tasty posters. Beer is fine and the food looked great...just Brit standards like fish and chips and steak but big portions done well. Diners on next table to me were raving about it. What struck me most was the friendliness of the staff. We were greeted by the landlord who made a real fuss of us despite it being quite busy. Great boozer. I'll be back.
