Following a mid-2014 refurbishment, it's lost its old traditional interior and now feels less like a pub and more like a cross between a bar and a restaurant. The floor is bare boards, and much of the seating is on high stools. The decor is the currently-trendy faux industrial, with exposed ducting and stylised bare-filament bulbs. A dining-only area is at the back, past an open kitchen. There's also a beer garden, part of it under cover.	It was refurbished and reopened in mid-2014; we haven't visited since, so the comments below may be out of date.

[[Kake]] visited on a Thursday afternoon in April 2016. Five of the six handpumps were on, all offering Young's ales: Special, Gold, Bitter, Tower, and Common. They also had Young's and Meantime lagers on keg. A pint of lime and soda was £2.10. Music was playing, not too loud. There was a fair bit of shouting from the open kitchen, which was a bit off-putting and quite startling at times.	It has a fairly standard interior, but it's worth knowing that there are a couple of large sofas right up at the back. They have a flatscreen, which started showing football with the sound on partway through our October 2008 visit (replacing the radio which had previously been playing music).

They have WiFi, which is free but requires you to give them your email address and postcode (it doesn't appear to check whether these are valid, though). It was pretty slow and laggy on our April 2016 visit.	Bombardier was £2.75/pint as of January 2008. On our October 2008 visit they (like many Young's pubs at the time) had St Austell Tribute on as guest ale (£1.45/half).

According to their website as of April 2016, quiz night is Wednesday from 8pm.	Food is served noon-8pm Monday to Sunday. They also offer a "traditional carvery" on Sundays from 12:30pm, priced at £8 for one course and £10 for two.
== Line 10 ==	== Line 10 ==
Accessibility: No steps to get in. Toilets not checked.	Quiz night is Sunday night (as of December 2007 it was advertised on the food menu as beginning at 8pm, but I'm sure on our January 2007 visit it started at least an hour later than that).
	== Line 12 ==
	Accessibility: There's an accessible toilet (or at least a sign directing you to it) - not checked out though, and I can't remember if there was a step to get in.

Young's pub near Tooting Broadway station.

It was refurbished and reopened in mid-2014; we haven't visited since, so the comments below may be out of date.

It has a fairly standard interior, but it's worth knowing that there are a couple of large sofas right up at the back. They have a flatscreen, which started showing football with the sound on partway through our October 2008 visit (replacing the radio which had previously been playing music).

Bombardier was £2.75/pint as of January 2008. On our October 2008 visit they (like many Young's pubs at the time) had St Austell Tribute on as guest ale (£1.45/half).

Food is served noon-8pm Monday to Sunday. They also offer a "traditional carvery" on Sundays from 12:30pm, priced at £8 for one course and £10 for two.

Quiz night is Sunday night (as of December 2007 it was advertised on the food menu as beginning at 8pm, but I'm sure on our January 2007 visit it started at least an hour later than that).

Accessibility: There's an accessible toilet (or at least a sign directing you to it) - not checked out though, and I can't remember if there was a step to get in.
