Randomness Guide to London - Differences between Version 8 and Version 7 of Old Nun's Head, SE15 3QQ

This pub has been recently renovated after a period of closure, by the people who did the nearby Gowlett (according to the sources below), another excellent local pub. Like that place, there's a surfeit of families at the weekend, and it can also get quite busy in the evenings. Generally, though, there's enough space to find a table in the main room, and it's particularly pleasant for reading the Sunday papers. A smaller area to the other side of the bar has a TV where sport is shown, but it's easy to get away from this if you're not interested.

There's a menu of food (served all day weekends, with Sunday roast options) which is not extensive but is all uniformly excellent. The pub likes to draw attention to its organic wines, beers and spirits, and there's a number of guest ales available, alongside the regulars like Adnams and some good lagers (Leffe, Staropramen, etc.).

A function room upstairs can be hired, and there are occasional live music nights or local community events taking place.
