Randomness Guide to London Menu

A cavernous but pleasant pub in a former tramshed, just near Tooting Broadway Station. It's easy to miss, as it's accessed via a small passage off the street, between two shops, and there's no name over the door.

Despite being a former Scream pub, this has been taken over by Antic and refitted. The result is another in their familiar genre of mismatched furniture, quirky antique shop fittings and relaxed ambience, but transformed by the vast warehouse-like dimensions of the space photo.

There's generous seating in booths and banquettes along the wall opposite the bar, with eight or more tables in the middle of the room, couches near the front door and more on a raised area at the back (where there's an ornate fireplace). There's far more seating upstairs as well, though it wasn't necessary to make use of this on a Wednesday evening visit. There are some seats outside in the entry passage, as well, for smokers.

The bar has three handpulls, all dispensing Purity ales (Pure Gold at £2.90/pint, Mad Goose, and Ubu). They have several basic lagers on draught, including Grolsch Weizen and Amstel, but nothing spectacular. There are however plenty of interesting bottled beers including several American ones.
