The pub has won a number of awards and is the current CAMRA pub of the year for south west London. There were half a dozen mostly local ales on and a couple of ciders. Stuck to the ale myself and the 3 I tried were all in excellent condition. My favourite was the TSB (no link to the bank...or it would probably have left me with the same bitter aftertaste as my interactions with the institution have). The pub looks slightly unusual to me from the outside, but in a very cool way. Inside this is a charming relatively old fashioned pub with some coloured lights, paintings and adverts for local events. There are a couple of tv screens for the sport.

They sell real ale, Guinness, lager, wines and spirits here. A pint is £3 for a Kronenbroug and service often comes with a smile. I have not had the pleasure of seeing this pub busy and I have visited during day and night. Its clientlele are British, which it is worth pointing out is in contract to the Tup and GJs o the same road who have a real mixture including a lot of South Africans and eastern europeans who have moved to the area of late. I get the feeling the Royal Standard might not be around in a few years time if people continue to neglect it. It is a shame because I have just realised that I would mourn its passing.

I liked the tartar sauce that accompanied the dish. I'm just dinging another star because the food took FOREVER to come. I really thought they were killing the lamb for how long it took. The barman apologised though so my heart softened a little.

Quite a sizeable auditorium that maybe fit 30 or so people. The screen size is pretty impressive for a small room. However the let down is the seating, I think the owners took shabby chic chairs a bit too far as some of the seats were so damaged we couldn't sit on them. But I'm sure the owners can sort this out. I'd definitely come back for movie events it's a cool place to watch films and eat the delights from the kitchen including corn dogs and lambs balls! Upstairs in the library was where the spy game was held run by Agent November. Pretty fun 'who done it' game. If they hold any more decent film events I'll be down in a flash, a good excuse to check out the rest of the pub.

It has a fantastic garden shaded by amazing 200 year old London plane trees, and given its location at a busy road junction it almost gives you the country pub experience.

Since those dark days it has been totally redone and it's now called The Long Room. The pool tables are gone and the décor is now all fresh looking and the place in general feels like it's designed for the 'new blood' in Tooting. High tables and stools with an area around the side that can be hired for a party or get together. Some good beer (though it's one those annoying places there they don't use branded labels and instead engrave the name on silver metal which can be really hard to read), and generally a nice relaxed atmosphere. Generally pretty quite, though I'm sure when people finally notice that it's not longer The Mitre, people will give it a go; something which I would recommend.

I have stopped here several times on the return trip from downtown London for a beer and food. On my most recent visit, we had appetizers and meals along with drinks. For appetizers we had their chips and hummus plates. Both were excellent. For my meal, I had their vegetarian burger. It also was excellent and was different than vegetarian burgers I've had elsewhere. I believe the burger was crafted there. They have daily specials that involve both drinks and food. I enjoy stopping here for food and drink and am sure I will be returning.

It perfectly balanced the rich creaminess of the avocado with the tartness of the crunchy baby greens & crumbly feta, the sweetness from the squash, and the rough texture of the thick slab of perfectly toasted French bread. Paired with a Guinness, it was just amazing. My girlfriend had the veggie burger with chips and was just as happy. The vibe here is one of familiarity- clearly a local favorite. There is a lovely tea room and a spacious back garden set up with a big screen for football (World Cup 2018!!). To get to the garden, you have to pass through a library, where you can choose a book to enjoy with your pint. If I lived in this neighborhood, I'd be here all the time. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be back.

After being here for four weeks, we stopped in yesterday afternoon to make it happen. I ordered the chicken/pork mix and my husband went with the beef. Each main came with sides of cooked veggies, Yorkshire pudding, golden roasties, all covered in a house-made gravy. Our portions were generous and the gravy, for me, was the highlight; the combination of the potato chunks dipped into the gravy, letting it soak into them, was divine! These two dishes, plus a beer for my husband, came to £26 total. The vibe was casual, with patrons just hanging out at tables, spread out throughout the place. There is a back patio, but we felt it was a bit chilly to dine outside, so we went with an indoor high table in-between the bar and one of the windows facing out front. We truly felt like we got a taste of a typical Sunday afternoon at the local pub. Note: We ordered and paid at the same time up at the bar.
