Fabulous looking pub - loads to look at; beer a bit ordinary.

Nice old man pub in a busy location. Sit back and watch ppl rushing about their busy lives whilst you sample the great range of ales.

Heaps of ale, never had too much of a problem getting served even when busy and can usually find a seat if you keep your eyes open for those finishing their drinks. Been dirnking her on and off for 12 years. This is a good pub.

Now here is a first in my long distinguished drinking history. I was refused service. Why? Because my son did not have proof of age, they wouldn't even serve a soft drink and asked us to leave. It was the middle of the day and we only wanted a quick drink between trains. This pub makes the platforms of Clapham Junction station appear welcoming.

Others have mentioned the interior but it really is architecturally superb and pretty well unspoiled. The huge curved bar purports to be the longest in the country, who am I to argue, I haven't seen one longer.I particularly like the snug by the entrance nearest to CJ station with its etched glass and half panelled snob screens, marginally messed with as now signed as a through route to the toilets to the rear. The rear room/area has dark ornate panelling and a feature stained glass window whereas the front area is brighter, has elaborate cast iron fluted columns, high ceilings and chandeliers, but with dubious aspects to traffic outside, although the former Arding and Hobbs (Debenhams now) building is of quality.

As for the beer, a good changing range of real ales, the current selection being Pride, Taylors Landlord, Harveys Sussex, Adnams Broadside, Jennings Cumberland Ale, Beartown Bear Ass, Batemans Falling Leaves, Okells Autumn Dawn and Everards Equinox, delightful by the way.

Food seems realistically priced with standard fare, sausages seeming to be a speciality.

A decent place, I note a few mixed reviews below but no complaints from me.
