Picture of China Hall, SE16 2XL

Historical version 2 of China Hall, SE16 2XL (view current version)

Pub near Surrey Quays Station, opposite [Southwark Park]?.

It's quite plain inside, and the bar and pool table take up much of what space there is. There are several dart boards, although at least one is situated directly above one of the tables, so you'd not be able to play if there were people sitting there. There's some kind of beer garden out the back.

Kake and bob visited on a Tuesday evening in April 2009. The two handpumps offered London Pride (£4.35 for a pint and a half, which works out at £2.90/pint) and Tetleys. The Pride was fine, though served through a sparkler. Kake's half came in a cute little stemmed glass.

A football match was showing on the flatscreens, and everyone except us was watching it with great excitement. There was no background music to compete with this. One suspects they show quite a lot of sport; there was a sign on the door pointing out that if you want to watch live sport you must spend at least £5 at the bar.

Accessibility: A step up to get in at both entrances, but there's also a RADAR-locked accessible toilet.
