Best Pubs in Lambeth

Stretching from the South Bank down to Streatham, Lambeth takes in Brixton's markets and music venues, the green expanse of Clapham Common, and Waterloo's commuter rush. It's a borough of contrasts: Georgian terraces and tower blocks, art galleries and railway arches, genteel streets and late-night kebab shops. The pub scene reflects this mix, with well over a hundred pubs ranging from Victorian corner locals to modern taprooms in converted industrial spaces.

The craft beer boom has been particularly kind to Lambeth. Brixton Brewery Taproom and Distortion Brewing Company serve their own brews in relaxed spaces that draw local regulars and beer tourists alike, while The Jolly Gardeners does the Sunday roast and table booking routine for something more settled.
