Larissa R.

Let me clarify something. This pub at midday on a weekend: 5 stars. This pub in the evening on any day of the week: 2 stars. With its island bar, fantastically friendly and skilled bartenders, spacious tables, generous availability of weekend papers, gastropub menu, projector screen for sport and tasty-delicious drinks, the Alma is a perfect place to spend a leisurely and boozy weekend afternoon, preferably nestled in the corner by the open fire in the winter months. But with its incredibly close proximity to Wandsworth Town station in conjunction with all the aforementioned pros of this pub (barring, perhaps, the weekend newspaper bit), the Alma is a heinously busy place to be in the evening, surrounded by every Wandsworth local in varying states of intoxication. I'm not a big fan of the fans of this pub in the evenings, therefore, I steer well clear of it. But after it played a happy host to me and seven of my friends this past Sunday afternoon - and after I consumed two expertly prepared bloody marys - my estimation of the Alma has changed; I can say with confidence that it's a bloody excellent place to be if you're a local in Wandsworth on a weekend (particularly if you like bloody marys).

This is a nice pub in Wandsworth. Every time I have been there the atmosphere has been good. It has never been completely packed or completely dead. This might be different at other times though. The service is always friendly and quick. The food looks good, but I haven't tried it yet. This pub's location is almost perfect. It is right across the street from the train station. It's an ideal place to stop for a pint on your way home from work.

Opposite the train station - nothing better than classic Young's beers and only a step off the train!

Cromwell Tavern! I think I'll joke about this place for the rest of my life. My co-worker and I…read morewanted a place to go for a late night drink close to our hotel and this was the only place opened past midnight that we could find. It's at the bottom of a Holiday Inn, or at least, it appeared to be that way, and was a strange mish-mash of a pub. I think it was trying to feel like it was really old, yet it had the strangest collection of furniture and decor. We had a blast making fun of this tavern. Tables were laid out in sort of a weird fashion and at first we were really close to this group of 20 somethings that were fairly drunk and really obnoxious and a woman who was sitting by herself at a table for 6 who was reading a book while her food sat off to the side. The drunk group left and it got nice and quiet and so did the woman who had a better table than we did so we took her table. Nothing we drank was anything we'd ever come back for. There are way too many good pubs in London. Unless everything else is closed and this is the only option, go elsewhere!

Good meeting place for a drink. Good selection of libations, on tap and in bottle, to slake your…read morethirst. Plenty of seating options and if you want to make it a working lunch, there's outlets nearby to grab some juice while you get some...juice. GF'ers, try the Old Mout Cider - very refreshing. The food looked (and smelled) good but it was only liquid libations for us. Great staff, everyone was friendly. Not sure what the thing about hotel guests only is, I'm sure there were other people here and they weren't checking for room keys.
