A very small and narrow pub, rather basic, certainly no frills, but a real fire and six handpumps serving well kept ales. Bench seats, stools and an odd settle at the end, obscure windows, a large ship's wheel forms a part of the semi seperation of the bar and sitting area. Well run by an enterprising landlord, music nights, jazz, blues etc plus curry evenings are regular features. Sport shown on the TV over the end door.
Six on last night, house beers Thru'penny Hop (Pilgrim brew this), Ascot Market Ale, plus Pilgrim Talisman (Winter Warmer), Northumberland Pit Pony, Sharps Special and Skinners Betty Stogs. Highly recommended. Noted interestingly that every drinker inside (20 or so) were on the real stuff.

This is a very small pub which had a very hospitable woman behind the bar during my recent visit. I spotted six hand pumps, but I couldn’t get around the bar to check them out as a group of six blokes were blocking it – yes the pub is that small! There is also a bank of six draught taps from which I was served a fine pint of Guinness.
There is a dartboard by the entrance and a TV above the door that shows Sky Sports.
I’d be happy to have this place around the corner from my house for a few quiet mid week beers – Not before 3pm though.

Small friendly local, no particular architectural merit but worth a diversion for 6 ever-changing real ales, currently at £2.70. Beware afternoon opening; Mon-Thurs is from 15:00. See website for details of curry night (£6 curry includes a pint), regular Sunday jazz & other periodic music events.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Trafalgar
Small freehouse with an interesting selection of real ales (including a decent pint of 'Cog' from the Box Steam Brewery in Wiltshire). Fairly ordinary interior, but you are almost certainly here for the beer so that probably doesn't matter too much. One of those places that you are surprised to find still exists, but which you are very glad it does.

Small traditional back street pub selling up to 5 real ales. Has just won CAMRA Greater London pub of the year. 5 minutes walk from South Wimbledon tube station

The Traflagar defines the subtle difference between an estate pub and a community pub. It's a laid back friendly sort of place with no fruit/quiz machines or juke box to get in the way of idle conversation, although there are a couple of unobtrusive TV's. It's welcoming to locals and visitors alike and I imagine that many make the pilgrimage from afar for the excellent range of beers. There are 6 hand pumps plus 2-3 ciders and some bottled beers. I had a Hippy High from Ventnor, a Moorhouse Black Cat and the Thrupenny Hop that I believe may be brewed on the premises - the name allegedly coming from an old nickname for the pub as it was the price of the bus fare from surrounding areas.
