Evening visit for a meeting. Not my sort of place by any means.

Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - London Pride4.10PoorSour tasting - so much so that although staying for a 3 hour meeting here I drank no more beer. Bordering on very poor. In addition no CAMRA discount was proffered when making the purchase

Evening. Keen to see inside this house but all ground floor lights out and floors clear inside but handpump clips in place. Did not put 2 and 2 together but was told later that this venue is still suffering from the recent burst water main damage in the area. Hope it will re-open soon.

The pub is found in Herne Hill, Greater London, SE24 9HU.

Impressive Victorian pub in Half Moon Lane, owned by the Dulwich Estate, with a wealth of original features. The bird paintings in the snug are especially noteworthy. On CAMRA's National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors. In mid 2013 suffered serious damage from the flood following a local burst water main and had to close for an extensive period. It was subsequently occupied by squatters so the closure continued. At the end of 2015 Fuller's acquired the lease and a projected opening date in late summer 2016 was initially predicted. Eventually re-opened in March 2017 and includes letting rooms. 8 handpumps, in two banks each of 4. Card payments only here.

We have visited this pub 3 times, seen 4 different beers and tried 2 of them.
