An iconic pub standing proudly in the heart of Wandsworth Town

A traditional British Victorian pub & rooms. Steeped in history and with unrivalled hospitality, landlord Connal (and pub dog Bailey) invite you to visit for our signature cocktails, local craft beers and sunny spritzes. Oh, and did we mention our exceptional food?

We’re kind of a big deal when it comes to sports, and we’re probably best known for our awesome atmosphere on match days. So, whether it’s the Six Nations, or catching up on the cricket, we show more sports than you can shake a racket at.

If you’re planning ahead for an epic knees-up, our Old York Room is a spot-on party place. And if you’re looking for the best place to have a chilled (but properly good) meal, our pub restaurant is the bees knees. The incredible kitchen team take a pub classic and give it a kick of their signature style – making our food a little bit special.

Next to the pub are 23 boutique-style bedrooms, and they’re pretty lovely. If you’re staying in Wandsworth for work – or are planning a sightseeing holiday – we’re  just opposite Wandsworth Town Railway Station (which is pretty handy) so you can be in London Waterloo within 10 minutes.

Our Bedrooms

Our rooms are perfect for family holidays, extended business stays, match day sleepovers and more. Uber-comfy beds, all the mod cons, and plenty of home comforts.

Our Bedrooms

Food & Drink

Be it a traditional pub classic, a hefty cut from our dry-ager, or one of our banging bar snacks, our food is sure to hit the spot. From breakfast, to your late-night snack, and every delicious bite in between – we’ve got you covered.

Sunday is the whole family (dogs and all) settling in for a long and lazy lunch. With Jonah at the kitchen helm possessing some seriously good roasting skills, we promise our Sundays won’t disappoint.  

We’re talking Josper roast chicken, sensational aged West Country beef, not to mention our (nearly) famous sharing roasts. All enjoyed with the crispiest of tatties, yorkies the size of your head and gallons of gravy (of course!)

Friendly, Comfy Weekend

My partner and I stayed here for the weekend and it was the friendliest and most personal hotel experience we have had. The room was quiet, the bed was comfy, lovely bath tub with taps in the middle!! And a plethora of choice in the mini bar. Breakfast was delicious. The real standout was the staff. All lovely, welcoming, helpful, and above and beyond what we would have expected. We will definitely be coming back and recommending to all our friends who need a London stay. Thanks guys!
