This pub is a candidate for inclusion on the Campaign for Real Ale’s (CAMRA) Local Inventory of pubs with local historic interest. Features of interest include a falcon, the emblem of Lacons Brewery. The two delightful tiled fireplaces in the pub contain the emblem and it can be found outside the pub as well. CAMRA’s WhatPub describes the pub thus: “Single bar corner pub distinguished at night by the neon 'POW' and adorned inside by hanging traffic lights, old school desks, stuffed animals and all manner of bric-a-brac. Harvey’s and Landlord are the regular cask beers with a rotating guest beer (Sambrook's on occasion). Local Brixton and Beavertown ales are on keg. Card-carrying CAMRA members are offered a 10% discount on all cask beers. Pizzas (ordered from a local takeaway) are available in the evenings.” The pub is dated at around 1884 and is described in the Clapham Society’s The Buildings of Clapham as having a “pleasant mini-neo-Queen Anne doorcase”.
