Why locals recommend it
This is a traditional Clapton pub just a few minutes away from Brew Club, so I spend a lot of time there. The staff is unwaveringly friendly, and the massive beer garden is lovely in the summer. They have good beers on tap—a range of keg ales, cask ales, and craft beers, some from small local breweries. The food is excellent, too. Modern British pub grub is done with real imagination here, but if you’re just after a decent pint and something to snack on, treat yourself to an Oakham Ales Citra and a black-pudding scotch egg. They’re proper scotch eggs with a runny middle—always a good thing.

Tips from locals
Lovely old pub in the corner of Wimbledon Common. Along with its neighbour, the Hand in Hand, this is the place to make for in the summer. And on a cold or wet day, the pub is ideal to get away from bad weather. Nice food too. A ten-minute walk away from Wimbledon Village. But worth the walk!
If the sun is out this a great pub for a drink. There is an outside grassy park where people sit in deck chairs and children play, while the rest sip on Pimms and Lemonade, Cider and champagne flutes!
