The Falcon, SW11

I will concur with the reviewers below this is a very good pub. A fine traditional interior with several of the original fittings, including the bar back, retained and plenty of comfortable seating in the multi divided sections around the central serving area. As mentioned it’s a Nicholson’s pub and probably has the most hand pumps I have seen in one of their establishments , just over 20 I believe. The chalk board showed about 17 ales on, so along with the usual Pride and TT Landlord there was an impressive selection from the current Nicholson Autumn season guest list. All the ones tried were in good condition with the Salopian Darwin Origin being a very good pint and personal favourite. But then I didn’t try the Brewdog Punk IPA, like other members of the group I could mention.

I really like what Nicholson's have done here. They've smartened the place up inside and out, and as its only a short walk from my flat I reckon I could become a regular here. TT Landlord, Pride and an excellent array of rotating guests are available, and I tucked into a pint of Harveys Sussex Best and Sambrook's Wandle, which is brewed locally. Pub interior nerds such as myself should enjoy the wood panelling and the gold, low hanging chandeliers.
