A curved fronted pub opposite the main entrance to Herne Hill railway station. Two main rooms, one with bar and mix of low tables and comfy chairs. Second room filled with tables for meals without feeling like a restaurant area. A patio style outside area at the far end of the room with the bar where smokers tend to congregate.
One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest
Listed status: Not listed
Some of the features from the inter-war fitting remain, such as fielded panelling on the walls, the bar counter, and the remains of a full-height dividing screen.
Mentally strip away such evidently modern work as the paintwork on the panelling, the modern glass in the frontage and the removal of plaster on one wall on the right, and you can get a good sense of a substantial inter-war (probably 1930s) refit. The left-hand area is the most intact with fielded panelling on the wall and bar counter and nice chequerwork floor tiling in front of the latter. The counter in front of the handpumps has a door, probably originally for access to the beer engines. On the right the counter has clearly been removed (see the mark in the floor). You can’t miss the remains of a full-height screen that once divided the pub. In fact, this forms the right-hand part of what would have been a former off-sales (traces in a former outside door and marking in the woodwork). The area on the rear left side (now opened up) no doubt once provided a separate ‘better class’ room.
