Late night ugh. Plans A, B and C for buses all failed and D took me here to find the lights on but front door locked 10 minutes before advertised closing time. Ho hum.

The pub is found in Charlton, Greater London, SE7 8UD.
One of two pubs in The Village. Refurbished some time ago and now sports bare floorboards throughout. A single L-shaped bar serves a single bar floor. Tell-tale doors show a past multi-room venue. Large garden. Re-opened once more in early September 2015, seemingly out of a Pubco's grip, with a greater emphasis on cask ales plus some live music. Several upstairs rooms opened in summer 2017, one with a bar but not serving real ale. 20p price discount on pints only of cask ales for card carrying CAMRA members. 8 handpumps. Closed, without prior warning, on Monday 9th March 2020.
We have visited this pub 132 times, seen 324 different beers and tried 154 of them.
