Historical version 5 of Lord Nelson, SE1 0LR (view current version)
- 243 Union Street, SE1 0LR (streetmap) (osm) (gmap) (bingmap) (streetview)
A pub very close to Southwark Station, done up in a retro trendy way. Recently changed management; the new landlord is very chatty. London Pride was on at £2.60 ish. The landlord gave me a taster first. It was certainly drinkable.
Does food lunchtimes and evenings. Possibly a constantly changing menu. Rib-eye steak was £9.95, burger was £7. They do Sunday roasts from noon to 5pm.
There is possibly free wireless.
Comment added by Bar Hopper: This place has changed beyond all recognition - out with the beige and in with red walls, flowers, candles, great street art (so i'm told) and some seriously good food. I had the chicken, leek & mushroom pie and my significant other went for the pork fillets in a cream & peppercorn sauce. The staff were really friendly at the bar and in the restaurant & the bar crowd seemed to be a really nice mix of after work types and assorted drunk trendies... i'll be back soon.
Comment added by Bec: I visited 7th August 2007 and instantly fell in love with the kind, chatty bar staff. A half pint of lime and soda is .40p and a small glass of very tasty house red is £3.00. Also, the sandwich board had a picture of Prince, His Royal Purpleness, under the Lord Nelson sign. Hooray!
