This is a very fine pub, situated on a pleasant residential street in Bexleyheath. On entering, you'll find a traditional English pub: wood-panelled walls, old photos and the odd leather armchair. There are front and rear beer gardens if the weather's good too. A superb range of beer is on offer - we counted seven draught real ales alone, including Aspall's cider. The pub is a serial CAMRA award winner and it's easy to see why. The barstaff were welcoming and the locals seemed a genial bunch who clearly appreciate this place. If you need a cultural excuse to come here, William Morris's Red House is just around the corner. Please note that the pub closes between 3pm and 7pm at weekends. Judging by the old photos of the pub, the Robin Hood & Little John has been doing business for almost a century. On this evidence, long may it continue.
