Early morning visit after midnight. Brief in view of appalling cask ale range again here. Supped of a Thistly Cross whisky cask cider again - becoming a habit here.

The pub is found in Lewisham, Greater London, SE13 6JP.
A busy pub in Lewisham High Street that's small by Wetherspoon's standards. Bookshelves around internal pillars make views across the floor difficult. A bit like a chameleon it changes clientele during its long day, attracting market folk whilst the street market is open then a mixed group of faces later on. Here staff do get to know their customers. Sports 2 banks each of 6 handpumps.
We have visited this pub 539 times, seen 821 different beers and tried 360 of them.
