A small friendly one-bar street corner house.

Refurbished September 2023, with a variety of tables, chairs and settles and pictures of ships of the battle of Trafalgar.

An interesting variety of bottled beers, canned beers, keg craft beers and lagers (Flensburger, Ayinger).

Three guest real ciders eg from Against the Grain, Ascension, Duckchicken.

The main part of the pub dates from 1860s with the extension from 1906. Historically it had the nickname of the 'Threepenny Hop' as it was said that men would occasionally hop over the fence from the now disused Merton Abbey railway line for a threepenny pint.

The pub has its own cricket team.

CAMRA South West London Branch Pub of the Year 2024, having also won in 2017, 2015, 2011, 2009 and 2007, as well as being the 2008 Winner of the CAMRA London Regional Pub of the Year award.

Was closed from 26/5/2021 to 11/9/2023.
