Reopened after a brief closure for refurbishment and opening under new management/ownership. A visit in Nov 2018 found only one beer on, Five Points Porter and then Purity but in June 2023 this was the position - no cask beer might return when the football season starts (we thought it never stopped). Two vacant handpumps on bar.

At one time operated by Ed Mason of Five Points Brewery, the pub underwent a fine refurbishment. This large Victorian establishment still has vestiges of the old separate saloon bar and public bar entrances, with a central bar and retains some original features, such as the front fireplace and side-entrance floor tiling and some etched glass - while there is a separate lounge. Sport on several TVs (Arsenal are a strong favourite). Buses 38,30,277,56, N38. Benches at the side and a garden in summer.
