One bar corner pub named after a famous boxing arena that stood across the road from 1910 until destroyed by bombs in WW2. Pictures of the rich, local boxing history adorn the walls, including one of a former professional boxer, Neville Axford, who ran the pub until 2001. Major sporting events on terrestrial TV and boxing bouts on YouTube are shown. Four handpumps dispense cask ales and 14 keg taps include beers from London micro-breweries. Additional seating outdoors under awnings on the pavement/patio on both sides at the front. Thai food served lunchtimes from a curry shack outside and lunchtimes and evenings inside. Children welcome up to 9.30 pm (earlier Thursday to Saturday when crowded). Card payment only.
