Micropub-style venue opened in early June 2022 in a former solicitor's office opposite Goldsmiths university. A joint venture between popular local bloggers Deserter and pop-up pub specialists Camberwell Shark. In addition to the ground floor bar, there is an upstairs drinking area, also hosting art exhibitions and other events showcasing local talent, plus a small outdoor seating area. 4 handpumps, usually 3 or 4 cask ales, plus 7 craft keg beers on tap, wine and spirits. As well as bar snacks, the venue has a free delivery arrangement with a local pizzeria.
