Modern ground floor pub extending from just opposite the eastern side entrance to Victoria station back to Vauxhall Bridge Road, with entrances on both streets. The conversion to a pub, from what was previously a Woolworth's shop, dates from October 1999. Some wood panelling, a fairly low ceiling and subdued lighting create a warm atmosphere. The one TV is usually silent. Prints on the walls give information on local history.
Friendly and attentive staff look after a mixed clientele, including families up to 9pm. This busy Wetherspoon's has ten hand pumps generally dispensing eight different beers, usually including some from London breweries. The standard Wetherspoon menu is supplemented with an offering of pizzas.
Note that the licence allows the sale of alcohol only from 9am.
Historic Interest
The site is very close to what was once a causeway across marshy ground, between Westminster Abbey and the Abbot's manor house. The causeway slowly morphed into an avenue of pollarded willows from which the pub takes its name. In the eighteenth century a tavern and pleasure gardens of the same name stood nearby, offering "tea, ale, and amusing deceptions".
