Although this pub is not a listed building, it is a large, handsome pub, allegedly a former coaching inn. Inside, it has been opened out and modernized with plain tiles on the walls and a Burne-Jones-style mural depicting an Arthurian scene. The large dining room at the rear has two plain skylights so it may have once been a billiard room. The pub has a very large rear garden for drinking and dining in the warmer months.

The Avalon featured on the Gateway to the South: Evening Pub Tour of Balham in December 2022.
