49-51 Black Prince Road, Lambeth South, Kennington, SE11 6AB (View on Google Map)

After an earlier spell as the Jolly Cockney, the pub was repositioned in 2008 as a German beer pub. Following a change of management in 2021, the venue is now more of a gastro-pub. This spacious and airy Victorian corner pub has two seating areas separated by central servery, and period features including cornice, columns, and bar stillion. Has a number of beers on tap, mainly from south London breweries, and cask ale was restored in autumn 2023. For a while it had a sister pub in East Greenwich, The Duke of Greenwich, until autumn 2025.
