The Roundhouse, Wandsworth Common, SW18

Randomness Guide to London - Roundhouse entry

A central curved bar dominates the space, the area around has a number of tables, all different in style and with non-matching chairs again all of a different style to each other. I assume this to be some sort of design statement but I don't get it personally. A slightly raised area is to one side of the bar. Fairly minimalist decor, cream walls, white ceiling and black wood, foreign film posters and the such. The main entrance area may have some original glazing, and still features the mosaic tiled step with the original name "The Freemasons" picked out. A not unpleasant low key ska music was playing at background volume. I suspect the pub has gone a bit gastro(?), certainly "trendy", nevertheless it was v quiet mid afternoon and no signs of food/people finishing lunches. Three handpumps, Everards Original, Sambrooks Wandle and Westons Organic Cider. The Wandle had a slight haze but was drinkable. Served in an old dimple pot. An unusual pub, probably marketed at local trendies but not really my sort of place really, far too mucked about with. Please note, this review dates from 25th March 2009
