Antic Pub.

This pub reopened in November 20th 2014 as the second Antic outlet in the borough with a welcome increase in the range of real ales. The name has changed back to its original name after being called "The Goldsmiths" but still known to the locals as the "Goldy".

The pub boasts 6 handpumps, although at quiet times of the week one or two might not be in operation. It is a spacious and usually busy venue, located near the main crossroads in Penge, and conveniently served by bus, train and tram.

Historic Interest

Built sometime in the mid-1860s with a distinctive turret on one corner. This was one of the many public houses that were built in and around Penge with the growth of the suburb (and which led to the comment in the late Victorian era of "twenty-five pubs to the square mile").
