A nice little free house with a small downstairs bar,a few tables and chairs and some drinking shelves for the upright among us. Absolutely rammed on my visit, unsurprising given the location and my weekend timing. In common with the greater bulk of the area the beer options were somewhat pedestrian for my taste, London Pride , Harveys Sussex Best and Hophead. Worth a visit at quieter times.

Dating from the early 18th century, this incarnation was rebuilt in 1928 and had been a branch of Scruffy Murphy’s before reverting to its original name.
It’s not big, being relatively narrow, with the bar to the left, with an attractive match boarded front, modern top and ornate wood and mirrored back; a beer blackboard is opposite. The floor is modern boarded, then colonial-style wallpaper to the picture rail, thereafter pale grey paint up to a pale grey match boarded ceiling. Being narrow, the front section has drinking ledges, though there’s conventional seating to the rear with a green lino floor. However, the real showpiece is the rear alcove with its ornately carved wood, topped with a clock and beautiful mirrors, surrounded by shiny glazed blue and white tiles. Lighting comes from some extravagant crystal chandeliers, hanging perilously low; there are also Victorian-style sconces. Jazz played over the gramophone and customers seemed normal.
A very friendly barmaid presided over two unused pumps, then Pride, Hophead (reversed) and Wandle in fine fettle at £4.40 a pint which is great value for the area.
This place is a nice find and is definitely worth a visit.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Queens Head
Surprisingly compact bar with an upstairs dining room (not visited), traditional London pub furniture / decor in the Taylor Walker mould and a pleasant welcome. First revisit for six years, with Wandle (£4.40, and in good shape) and London Pride available from two of the five handpumps. Like many places in the Soho area, currently benefits from a few extra tables out front due to Covid-19 related road closures, but not sure how long that will last?
