The rooms worth crossing London for: the interiors CAMRA lists, the last galleried coaching inn, the pubs where something documented happened, and the ones that do one thing better than anyone. Filter by kind, or by what's open now.
A nine-bay Victorian corner hotel at Clapham Junction, built around one of the longest bar counters in the country.
Historic interior
Purpose-built as a hotel late in the nineteenth century, on the corner where St John's Hill meets Falcon Road: nine bays, giant pilasters, the main entrance set on the curve under a fanlight and a pediment, and a truncated pyramid roof carrying an iron balcony and a flagstaff.
The island bar counter is one of the longest in the country and the whole room is arranged around it. Behind it and in the partitions that separate the bars is brilliant-cut glass; there are leaded lights in the draught lobby, original mirrors, and cast-iron columns running the full height.
It was done up in the spring of 2014 and reopened with eighteen handpumps. The usual count now is up to six, and the kitchen does most of the work.
