Pub in Stanmore.
Note: According to the August/September 2010 issue of the London Drinker magazine, the Abercorn closed in early 2010 for "substantial rebuilding and extension", and is presumably still closed as of July 2010 (the publication date). The comments below relate to the situation before this closure.
Kake visited on a Tuesday afternoon in October 2008. The only real ale available seemed to be Ruddles County (£1.50/half) - it came up on the till as "guest ale", so it might change about a bit.
There were a few other people in when I arrived a little after 3pm, some just finishing lunch. Piped music (and adverts) came courtesy of some radio station or other, and it was all a bit cheesy - "Are You Ready For Love", "I Know Him So Well", "2 Become 1", etc.
As well as a normal pub-style area at the front, there's also a more formal dining area at the back, though it seems that the same food is available wherever you choose to sit. The pub area has a number of sofas. There's also some picnic bench seating outside; not sure if any of it is covered.
Food is served noon-11:15pm every day. It's Indian-style, and it looks quite interesting (see link below for full menu). They even have a few Indo-Chinese dishes on the menu. They also offer takeaway.
I'd like to come back and try the food, though I'm a little put off by their apparent taste in music.
Accessibility: Step-free to get in, but toilets are up a flight of stairs.
