The pub is found in Balham, Greater London, SW12 9BP.

Was a typical Wetherspoon's in Balham High Road. In summer 2015 Wetherspoon put this pub up for sale and in 2018 closed it at the expiry of the lease that it did not wish to renew. Relaunched in May 2019 with new name and new owner but with no real ale.

We have visited this pub 3 times, seen 12 different beers and tried 4 of them.
