Standard format and décor for an O'Neill's Irish theme pub with spacious single bar and the normal grey/green colour scheme. Plenty of tables and seating, including on the patio in front of the pub. Dogs not allowed inside but permitted on the outside patio. Very convenient for bus, rail and tram travellers alike.

Real ale introduced in 2014 with three handpumps, In 2018, real ale availability was reduced to Sharp's Doom Bar only. By late 2025 handpumps had been removed and replaced with Guinness fonts!

Historic Interest

The pub originally opened as the Golden Arrow in 1968 and was owned by Charringtons, complete with a railway signal erected on the pavement outside. This occupied part of a purpose-built block for the Southern Region office of British Rail (the Golden Arrow name being a tribute to the luxury boat train to Paris, which ran through Beckenham Junction station until 1972). The interior décor was based on a Victorian style railway station. The pub was a popular live music venue and known to David Bowie as part of the Beckenham music scene. The railway connection was subsequently lost when this later became a Drummonds pub before being converted into an O'Neill's bar in 1994.
