There’s not a lot of passing trade down this residential Stockwell street, which is perhaps why the Priory Arms’ management have made their pub so awesome that you’ll be lured in from miles away. A plain, small main room has been decorated with not much more than fairy lights and a colourful beermat collection, and a beautiful old well-stocked jukebox beams at you from the centre.
Elderly regulars chat to a cheerful barmaid while you choose from a brilliant selection of cask ale, craft kegs and a charmingly old-school selection of burgers. If you asked your granddad to design a pub this is probably exactly what he’d come up with, and we mean that in the best possible way – the Priory Arms is untouched by any trappings of 2015 London style, and it’s all the better for it.
