The Hackney Carriage is a square room ringed by high tables. Outside, there's a small cordoned-off set of tables and chairs for those who smoke or just enjoy a bit of traffic noise.
Ales are fetched from the cool room behind the bar, which certainly slows down the ordering process at busy times. There's plenty of choice in cask and keg, all from smaller breweries.
This is a good choice if you find yourself in Sidcup, though not enough on its own to force a trip to London's southeastern suburbs.

Bucking Fastard left this review about The Hackney Carriage
This is the place to drink in Sidcup.A micropub in a reasonably large former shop unit,there are chairs outside and an awning,while inside there are high tables and bench seating on either side with a tun in the middle with two bar stools.The bar is at the rear,with a cooled room for the cask and key kegs.The landlady is very chirpy and friendly and creates a good atmosphere.To the right are seperate gents and ladies,I assumed the small saucy paintings in the gents were of the landlady in her younger,liberal years.
The interior has attractive ceiling blocks,top hat lampshades above the bar,a few pump clips and decent muzak.
The chalk board noted three cask ale on my trip in Kent Old School bitter,Citra and Downlands Revival APA while noted as key keg were Brew York Golden Eagle pilsner (NBSS 4),Northern Monk Little Faith, Abbeydale Reverie,Heaney's Stout and Westerham Nitro Stout.
There were also 8 still ciders,6 sparkling and a wide selection of wine and spirits and there was a good mix of customers both male and female of varying ages.
I will most certainly return,the beer options were superior to the other nearby pubs by a country mile,the atmosphere was upbeat and fun.

Blue Scrumpy left this review about The Hackney Carriage
Just over a year on from my first visit to this micropub, situated close to Sidcup station, I made a return visit.
On my previous Saturday lunchtime trip, the place was dead and I think it was the lack of atmosphere that made it disappointing. This time was the opposite. By the time we were leaving, all tables were taken and it was fairly lively.
Ales and craft beers are displayed on an electric screen behind the bar. The 6 real ales were Thornbridge Jaipur, Dorking Five Claw & Surrey XPA, Gun Project Babylon Pale Ale, Beerblefish Hackney TNT & Arbor Mosaic. Craft beers were Westerham Helles Belles, Beerblefish Cashmere Brut IPA, Hardywood Park Gingerbread Stout & Bedlam Hunky Dory.
Ciders are listed on a blackboard on a side wall. They mix various ciders to produce their own concoctions - Cider Royale, Turbo Strawberry, Turbo Rhubarb & Turbo Mango. I'm not sure I'm entirely happy with this practice. So once again, I steered clear of these.
Other ciders were Lilley's Gladiator, Somerset Scrumpy, Bee Sting, Rhubarb Cider, Mango Cider, Rum Cider, Red Rabbit & Strawberry Cider, Broadoak Moonshine, Harry's Scrummage & Snail's Bank Ribena Fruit Bat & Raspberry Ripple.
A much improved visit on this occasion.
