Public houses of Clapham South
As Londoners, at Cozee we are deeply attached to our weekly attendance to our local pub. Why should you be different in the place where you are going to live? That is why we have been testing and reviewing all the pubs in Clapham South. As a matter of fact, we didn’t… But we would have loved to. Here is then the list of the greatest pubs of Clapham South
| Pub name Name | Address | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Avalon | 16 Balham Hill Balham SW12 9EB | Two hundred yards down the hill from Clapham South tube, once a coaching inn and probably the oldest pub in the area though little of historical/architectural interest remains. Renamed by new leaseholder Renaissance Pubs (now Three Cheers Pub Co), after comprehensive refurbishment in November 2008, into an attractive gastropub, retaining a traditional bar with front lounge but transforming the rear sports bar into a sumptuous restaurant area. Back garden and enclosed pavement seating. Formerly the George. |
| Balham Bowls Club | 7-9 Ramsden Rd Balham SW12 8QX | Converted to a pub by Antic in 2006, this former club just off Balham High Road retains a traditional feel but is now a ‘shabby chic’ venue popular with young people. The multi-roomed interior features wood panelling, decorated with emblematic military shields, and sporting paraphernalia. Guest beers may be from Volden but are typically from other London micros. |
| Bedford | 77 Bedford Hill Balham SW12 9HD | Built for Watney in 1931 and now Grade II-listed, this remarkable community pub and performance venue no longer has a separate public bar but includes a round theatre with a gallery as well as spacious function rooms on two upper floors. For six years it has hosted the London Folkfest in June, followed in 2016 by the Balham Literary Festival. The Balham Comedy Festival in July is now in its fifth year. The pub was acquired in May 2017 by Three Cheers Pub Co (formerly Renaissance Pubs) as their eighth South London venue, and part of a new Six Cheers ‘managed expert’ partnership with Enterprise, retaining its emphasis on live music and comedy. It reopened after major refurbishment late in 2018. |
| Devonshire | 39 Balham High Road Balham SW12 9AN | Large, cavernous Victorian corner house retaining high ceilings and some original mirrors. Refurbished as more of a gastropub and renamed from Duke of Devonshire early in 2008. Split level seating areas behind the central bar with a large garden open in the summer. |
| Firefly | 3 Station Parade, Balham High Rd Balham SW12 9AZ | Besides now offering a real ale on handpump (usually Dark Star Hophead), this bar cum Thai restaurant keeps a wide range of keg and bottled beers, including London specialities. |
| Grove | 39 Oldridge Road Balham SW12 8PN | Large Victorian corner pub retaining separate drinking areas despite the complete refurbishment that sadly saw a popular public bar knocked through. Clean, tasteful, relaxed and quiet, a stylish but not trendy pub for everyone including families and especially diners. Restaurant meals all day until 10.30. Board games but no darts, fortnightly Sunday quiz. Pavement seating. |
| Hagen & Hyde | 157 Balham High Road Balham SW12 9AU | Acquired by Antic in mid 2013, renamed and reopened on 25th July. Up to ten real ales, twelve keg beers and two real ciders on the bar. The kitchen specialises in fresh fish. Entertainment ranges from DJs to bands but all with a definite vintage flavour. Originally a 1997 shop conversion opened as the Eclipse by Regent Inns, acquired by Wizard Inns who changed its name to Blithe Spirit in 2003. |
| Nightingale | 97 Nightingale Lane Balham SW12 8NX | Worth going out of your way to find, this country pub in town was built in 1853 by Thomas Wallis and has been a focus for the local community ever since. A recent renovation has not altered the basic layout of the pub. There is a traditional public bar area at the front, while the larger but cosy saloon bar leads through to a rear extension and sheltered garden. The pub is renowned for its annual walk in June for local charity, which has been held for over 40 years. |
| Regent | 21 Chestnut Grove Balham SW12 8JB | Formerly the Balham Tup, Clouseaus (1996-1999) and originally the Balham Hotel. A vast sports bar with several big screen TVs. Small fenced patio off the road. Beers may vary from within the Punch list. |
