A gem of a street-corner local providing an oasis of calm from the traffic on the manic Wandsworth one-way system.
Always friendly and welcoming, the well decorated bar offers unobtrusive TV sport and there is both a heated patio for smokers and a suntrap secret garden for everyone.
A former local CAMRA Pub of the Year, this pub serves excellent beer as well as good-value lunches during the week.
A seasonal ale is occasionally available.

Yellow stock brick with stucco dressings. On the ground floor a panelled stall riser supports an Ionic-type pilaster order and entablature framing the Barchard Street elevation and all but the northernmost bay of the main elevation. That bay is articulated with a blind round-headed window. On the first floor the main elevation has 3 flat-headed windows having vermiculated keystones alternating with 2 round-headed windows having volute keystones and with sunray glazing bars. The window of the northernmost bay is again blind. The flat- headed windows reappear on the Barchard Street elevation. The crowning cornice carries a parapet of pedestals and balustrade interrupted over the centre of each elevation by a plaque bearing a painted panel with the name 'The Grapes'. On the north elevation are 3 tall round-headed windows with keystones and imposts.
