This place dates to at least the start of the 19th century, probably rebuilt a few decades later with a distinctive French Empire-style roof, once a Bass pub and part of a triangular pub trio.
The interior has been substantially modernised, viewable on their website, with a bare brick and copper steampunk bar back, boarded floor, greyish and bluish colour scheme with wainscoting and matchboard, dominated by a large, modern take on a Wellington chandelier. Décor takes the form of eclectic mixed prints and furniture is mixed, some modern. Customers were young professional types and there was a decent ambience.
Ales proffered were Pride then Landlord at a pricey £3.25 a half, in reasonable shape, served by a friendly barmaid.
This is a barely passable pub, better than the Rose & Crown, but no match for the Prince of Wales; once again, a better, wider and more imaginative choice of cask would get the score up.

A good pup opposite Clapham Old Town bus terminating point. There is one large square room, decorated with pictures and mirrors, with a small snug area at the back and a dining room upstairs. At the side is a nice patio with various seating arrangements, shaded by a couple of large trees. Ales included 5 Points Pale, Proper Job and a Sharp's limited edition.
