On the border of South Lambeth and Kennington, and within easy reach of The Oval cricket ground, this 19th century building, with a striking blue exterior, has been impressively refurbished as a comfortable, popular, single-bar dining pub.
The décor features portraiture in the style of the late 19th and early 20th centuries; can you spot Van Gogh and James Joyce?
There is a terrace in front, and an enclosed, split-level patio and garden (heated in colder weather) at the rear with a Burger Shack and views over the adjacent, post-war estate. The upstairs dining room is available for functions; diners and drinkers are equally welcome downstairs.
Quiz night Tuesday.
