The White Lion of Mortimer, Mitcham

This is a Wetherspoon’s pub with the usual sort of range of ales on, at the usual sort of price, and with a typical mid afternoon clientele. I thought I blended in quite well with locals. I got to try the excellent Skinner’s Jingle Knocker in here. For a ‘Spoons it’s not that big inside, although the exterior boasts a long and impressive frontage. It’s clearly always been a pub – originally Victorian, or possibly even Edwardian, I would say based the ceiling design and cast iron columns with decorated capitals. On the whole it’s pretty much like every other ‘Spoons you’ve been in, although I didn’t care much for the purple painted walls. The typically good ale choice means that I would probably visit again, although it’s obviously not worth going out of your way to find.
