Tucked away next to Larkhall Park, this small, down-to-earth, L-shaped local was refurbished in 2018 and now includes a conservatory extension to the side. It is the only building remaining from streets that were replaced by the park after WW2 bomb damage.
The back room walls display caricatures of regular customers, while the middle section has old photos of Battersea Power Station. Tuesday and Wednesday are poker nights, Sunday is for bingo, and a quiz night is on Fridays. There is a petanque pitch next to the pub.
Pizzas are available to eat in or take away. There is a curry night on the last Friday of each month.
The pub sign portrays a surprised John Young, the late and legendary Chairman of the old Young's Brewery. The pub passed to Punch ownership in 2021.
