The Montague Arms
A street-corner pub with a characteristic London layout of projecting ground floor, still bearin Truman’s livery. It closed in October 2019 and has since become heavily graffitied. Since then it has been the subject of multiple unsuccessful planning applications for refurbishment and conversion of the upper floors to flats.
The Crane
An old pub standing by the South Circular Road, which claimed to be the oldest pub in Wandsworth, having been built in 1738. It was renamed as the Armoury for a period.
The Bull
A corner pub with a curved frontage and distinctive arched windows, situated across the road from Woolwich Arsenal station.
The Cricketers
An inter-wars pub in the shadow of the Oval cricket ground that appears to have been built at the same time as the surrounding council housing. Nobody can claim there’s a shortage of potential customers here.
The Falcon
A characteristic Victorian pub with a protruding lower storey, situated in the angle of two roads in West London.

A street-corner pub in East London in an area of mixed older housing and modern development. It has been converted to residential use, gaining a discreet extra storey in the process, but retains its pub signage.

The Rising Sun
A small mock-Tudor pub with impressive chimneystacks sandwiched between larger modern shopping developments on a South London high street.
