Dacre Arms, Lewisham

A locals pub run on very traditional lines with no TV and other distractions – just good conversation and good beer. It looks like an early 20th century building which retains a number of inter-war fittings. Doors indicate it was originally 3 rooms (or two rooms and off sales) but all the divisions have long gone. The bar counter is possibly an inter-war one (or just post-war?) and the bar back with its illuminated top section looks more 1950s. There is three-quarter height fielded panelling all around the room, two good Tudor arch shaped wood surround fireplaces with tiled interiors (age?) with 1960s fake fires. The fixed seating is in bays attached to short partitions with glazing in the top part. Gents retains three original urinals and the blue wall tiles look 1950/60s ones.

The pub has been successful registered as an Asset of Community Value (ACV).
