London's first permanent micropub opened in March 2013 in part of a former electrical wholesalers. The Door Hinge was a welcome breath of fresh air on the local pub scene stocking over 300 real ales in its first year. Normally at least three cask ales are available, dispensed by gravity from within a glass-fronted cold room. The cosy front bar seats 22 patrons which encourages conversation among previous strangers and there is an even smaller quiet room towards the rear, where in cold weather there's often a real fire. It's handy for Welling United and Erith & Belvedere FCs. It was the 2014 Bexley Branch and London Regional Pub of the Year Winner. The ownership changed in early October 2019 when founding licensee Ray sold to local friends Geoff and Steve. There is a small range of wines and spirits sold here. Card payments are accepted.
