picture of Tankard
Once a staple of pub designs across London, the Tankard's mock Tudor exterior and chintzy interior are becoming a rarer and rarer sight. The feel of the place equally harks back to pub life of lore: a cheery barmaid, keeping her smile whilst her customers practise their (well-rehearsed) one-liners on each other. The drink selection isn't that great - it's a Greene King pub but we didn't see any of their beers on tap - and the food is equally one size fits all, but the Tankard does a decent enough job for the locals who stop by, as it did for us when we looked in. Not a classic, but for the Walworth Road, it'll do.
