Blue Scrumpy left this review about The Door Hinge
Apparently this was London's first micropub. It certainly seems much more worn compared with others, which is not such a bad thing.
There were quite a few characters in, many advancing in years (including ourselves!). Conversation is king.
Behind the front room is another tiny seating area, where there was complimentary food. Toilets are beyond this point along a corridor.
All ales and ciders were from Kent - Musket Flintlock & Trigger, Kent Cobnut & Dudda's Tun Disco, Greenhorn, Cheery Old Dudda, Bone Dry, Spiced & Original.
This is a compact place, albeit a good example of an early micropub.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Door Hinge
What is now a 'traditional' micro-pub, with just four thin tables, bench seating around the periphery of the small, square room and a few plain chairs. Decor comprises pump clips on one side wall, local history photographs and a bit of breweriana on the other and a window through to the cool room beside the compact counter at the back. There also turns out to be a small domestic-looking lounge up a step off the corridor through to the toilets to the rear. With no room for handpumps, the real ales are served on gravity, and I found two Kent beers - Pale and Comet - plus Oscar Wilde dark Mild from Mighty Oaks (£3.30, and in fine form).

Real Ale Ray left this review about The Door Hinge
A truly good micro pub that ticked all the boxes. There were three ales on stillage in the cold room on our visit, which were Kent Mosaic, Wild Card Queen of Diamonds and Rockin Robin Redbreast. I went for the Kent Mosaic, which was right up my street as I am a big fan of Kent Brewery beers, plus I like Mosaic hops. This micro is also in a good position for getting off the 51 bus and for getting on the B16 bus to the Long Pond micro in Eltham, the bus stop is just across the road. The barman and fellow drinkers were friendly and all helped with directions for the bus.
