This is a mid-19th century pub, originally the Swan Inn until 2022.
The interior is covered extensively on their website and my photo, but passingly it resembles a less psychedelic Young’s makeover as this is an MPC (GK) joint, essentially displaying a grand drawing room/gentlemen’s club aesthetic, with much modern ‘olde worlde-style’ wood and zoned areas to a nooky interior, patronised by rich studenty types and locals who live in the staggeringly grand houses passed on approach.
A better-than-expected cask lineup amounted to Abbot of course, but then Landlord and Southwark’s Bermondsey Best at a silly £6.20 a pint, in decent condition, served by a friendly barmaid.
As Graham says, this isn’t worth a special trip, but is fine if you’re in the area, but would probably be improved by ditching the tinny soundtrack which sounded like a choir of Smurfs.

Not as characterful an interior as the nearby hand in hand and crooked billet. Quirky shaped interior that zig zags back. 6 real ales and food.

A large pub with a clean, bright interior - light wood and light grey paint. A large room with assorted tables houses the bar, while there is another large extension off the rear which has more of a restaurant feel. There is a large tabled patio to the front. Despite a fair emphasis on food, there were some good beers on, with 3 Wimbledon ales alongside the usual Abbot and IPA. Perhaps not worth a special trip, but good enough if you are in the area.
