Pub on Druid Street in [[Locale Bermondsey|Bermondsey]]. It was previously a sports pub (see <a href="https://london.randomness.org.uk/wiki.cgi?id=Marquis_Of_Wellington%2C_SE1_2HH&version=9">older version of this page</a>), but was refurbished and changed hands in 2016, reopening in November of that year under the "Bermondsey Pub Co" brand of Enterprise Inns.
 The Marquis of Wellington was a large sports pub on Druid Street in [[Locale Bermondsey|Bermondsey]]. [http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/189881 According to the LondonSE1 forums], as of January 2015 it is closed and boarded up.

The interior has that "deliberately unfinished" look made popular by [[Category Antic Pubs|Antic]], with worn boards on the floor, scuffed paintwork, peeling wallpaper, and exposed brickwork and plastering. Seating is an eclectic mix of armchairs, sofas, padded banquettes, school-style chairs, and long backless benches. There are several small separate areas running around the central bar, with free passage between.
 Food is served 11am-10pm every day.

[[Kake]] visited on a Thursday afternoon in June 2019. There were a couple of other customers in when I arrived around 1:45pm, and a few more arrived while I was there. Music was playing, not too loud.
 The information below significantly pre-dates the refurbishment and reopening.

The handpumps were clipped for Reunion Gin Palace and Exmoor Exile Apollo. They also had keg taps for craft beer, including a couple from Anspach &amp; Hobday which is just across the road. A pint of lime and soda was 70p.
 [[secretlondon]] went here one weekday lunchtime in September 2008, as they were advertising food outside. They had a menu up advertising food from 7am to 9pm. However there was no food this week due to staff issues. They were selling sandwiches (including toasted sandwiches) instead.
== Line 8 == == Line 8 ==
Food is limited to pizzas, salads, and desserts.
 I had a toasted cheese and onion sandwich, a packet of crisps and half a pint of coke for &pound;3.90 <small>([http://www.flickr.com/photos/secretlondon/2882331124/ photo])</small>. The sandwich itself was &pound;1.80.

According to a sign seen in June 2019, there's a quiz every Wednesday from 8pm. Also, they still show sport &#8212; on our visit there were posters advertising every match of the women's football world cup shown live.
 There were at least two bars. I was in a small one with a blue pool table <small>([http://www.flickr.com/photos/secretlondon/2882326770/ photo])</small>, a television (turned off) and a signed Millwall football strip on the wall <small>([http://www.flickr.com/photos/secretlondon/2881503001/ photo])</small>. A sign outside mentioned a dart board but I didn't go into the other bar/s to look. Through the bar area I could see a TV showing football in another bar.
== Line 12 == == Line 12 ==
Accessibility: A small step at the side entrance, less than an inch. No steps to the ladies' toilet, but there are two heavy doors along the way.
 The ladies toilet accessible from the bar I was in didn't have a working lock. There are tables outside.
== Line 14 ==
I don't think it had any hand pumps.

[[secretlondon]] visited again in October 2008 and they weren't doing any food as the cook was off sick.

Accessibility: One step to get in. No extra steps to the toilet I investigated.
