The Beehive Pub

A long narrow Wetherspoons pub on Brixton high street just a very short walk from the station down towards Brixton Academy. The service at the bar (which runs most of the length of the pub along the right hand wall) is fast and as with all Wetherspoons the drinks are very reasonable prices. [...]

The White Lion of Mortimer

For a pub with no atmosphere the white swan is surprisingly busy.each table is occupied with some pretty tired looking  working class people looking like they are on their last legs. The service in this relatively small wetherspoons is friendly but the bar staff are incredibly slow joking amongst themselves as time [...]

The Moon in The Square

On the first level of this multiple level wetherspoons are small stairs up to a platform and down to an addition seating lounge but there still doesn’t seem to be enough seating. Then i realise that there is a second floor where the bar is quiet. Not that an overcrowding at the bar [...]
