Visited 23/01/2018.
OK this is a somewhat belated review but based on my personal notes since I started keeping notes at the start of 2018. Full disclosure, this is my local, 30 seconds from my front door on Weston St. Been here a ridiculously large number of times pre recording of venues and an even more ridiculously large number of times since I started recording venues but this date is the single time I have noted this as a venue since I started counting venues at the start of 2018!
Pretty basic corner st venue, been pretty much in the same format since the date recorded but prior to that and its conversion to a more upmarket venue to catch the multitude of well heeled locals and more blue collar workers on building sites that have dominated the area over the last decade and a half and Guy’s hospital workers it was a more local estate venue showing sports - now showing silent early last century silent movies etc on a loop above the entrance door!
Always have a single beer on hand pump, has been Doom Bar for a while (I hang my head in shame) but generally more interesting than that. I generally tuck into a glass of wine here these days.
I love this place but I can’t rate it more than a mid range 5 on here.

Dating from the late 18th century, this was rebuilt, probably in the 19th, formerly a Hoare’s house.
The windows are modern leaded with stained glass, but otherwise it would seem that the addiction to the copper theme mentioned in several earlier reviews no longer applies; it also boasts that it’s home to the Bermondsey Parmo, despite the pub not actually being in Bermondsey. There’s still the wood panelling, with studded banquette booths to the rear, beyond which is an ugly games machine, then tall conventional furniture to the front, but then again, the dim lighting (fake Victorian chandeliers and sconces) may have impeded my vision somewhat, but otherwise it’s as described, with trendy framed artistic prints, mocking senior members of the royal family. Customers were youngish with a fairly good buzz for a Tuesday evening, possibly buoyed up by the loud Stevie Wonder playing over the gramophone, so I doubt I’d find it any less busy on a Friday.
Amazingly there was just the one ale, something called Rose – Amber House Ale? at an insulting £2.85 a half and decent, though 10p cheaper than my half at the Horseshoe Inn across the way.
This place isn’t a disaster, but there are plenty of better pubs in the area.

Typical corner pub. Bar to the left. One hand pump which I didn't take note of. Rest keg. Room off to the right.
