Victorian gin palace outpost
Carved Victorian joinery and etched glass frame a lively neighborhood hub, where locals gather over pints in snug, wood-panelled corners.
What it’s good at
Remarkable
A Grade II* listed Victorian pub preserving 1896 Jacobethan joinery, Corinthian columns, and hand-painted avian mirrors.
Notable
Cask ales, seasonal Sunday roasts, and neighbourhood gatherings directly opposite Brockwell Park in leafy Herne Hill.
Listed
A public bar, historic Gibbs snug, and landscaped courtyard beer garden complete with an open fire pit.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Brockwell Park sits directly across the lane, with Herne Hill station and village shops just a short stroll away.
The rooms
Upstairs rooms channel lunar history with bespoke lighting and patterned wallpapers, while the Grand Suite adds a freestanding roll-top bath.
At the table
The dining room serves British classics beside stained-glass windows, and South London craft ales pour out into the timber courtyard.
How it began
Once a stage for Dylan Thomas and early U2 concerts, the 1896 building was thoroughly restored after severe flooding in 2013.
