A pub by the river in Wandsworth, just next to Wandsworth Bridge.

This pub occupies an odd site, tucked away from both the bridge and from the main road, in an area otherwise dominated by industrial plots, hemmed in by concrete. However, it has an extensive riverside terrace and garden area, over several levels (including a BBQ). The view of the river is blocked by a large wall on the other side of which is the Thames Path. Inside, the place takes up a couple of rooms with a bar placed between them, a mixture of couches and tables with TV screens.

On a March 2009 visit, the inside was full with people watching rugby on TV, and outside the BBQ area was not operational. They also had a sign warning that food service did not extend beyond a point halfway through the beer gardens, meaning there were several large empty tables near the back (at the riverside), so we could seat our group of 15 or so.

There are six handpulls for ale at the bar inside, including Young's ordinary and Special, Bombardier, and Deuchars IPA, all perfectly well-kept. They also had Addlestones cider on, at £3.75/pint. Service was quick enough, but it was very busy, so Ewan waited a little while to be served.

Food is served noon-10pm daily, though none was sampled on our visit photo of menu.
