Following the demolition of the previous pub on this site as part of the ongoing modernisation of the whole area, the new pub arose phoenix-like from the ashes of the old! The pub was restored in splendid Edwardian style with trademark Sam Smith's dark wood and etched glass. There is a downstairs Public Bar and another room upstairs with a bar and restaurant with a capacity of about 80. Food is served only upstairs. The menu includes lunchtime sandwiches plus all the usual pub favourites.

Two handpumps offer OBB, and there is the usual range of SS keg beers. Patrons should note that the brewery's policy is that its pubs are for social conversation person to person. This includes bans on swearing, mobile phones (except for payments), laptops or tablets; however, in the London area this policy may be relaxed or not enforced by staff.

This tourist-area SS pub is one of the very few with its own website.
