A spacious, late Victorian pub on a prominent corner site at Tooting Bec crossroads. Only two cask beers are now served (April 2022) but both are ales from small local breweries. The interior features exposed brickwork, and large pillars and arches, with a back room used as a restaurant. Seats have been added to the roadside exterior. The pub was acquired by Antic in 2010, with a welcome reinstatement of real ale after many years' absence. Following fears in 2013 that the pub might be sold for its development value, a local campaign resulted not only in ACV registration but also in Article 4 Directions by Wandsworth Borough Council. Urban Pubs & Bars took over the lease in 2015 and undertook a major refurbishment. Look out for the many black-and-white photographs of old Tooting. The upstairs function space hosts live music and comedy plus yoga sessions. Dog-friendly.
