Last knockings until close. Wetherspoon Summer cider festival clips using up some of the pumps even though being dispensed from back wall fridges.

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 542 times, seen 831 different beers and tried 362 of them.
