Fair enough it's got that old East End feel (great!) but that doesn't count for anything if your drink is warm, the glass is dirty and your chair is falling apart. Terrible!

Popped down the OKR for the first time in a few years last month. Was sad to see so many pubs have been torn down or boarded up.
The Nelson is a brilliant pub with a real East End atmosphere and I still look forward to the long trek down some old haunts to have a pint in my first ever London local.
Still full of memories and I always see a smile.
A great pub.

Hope they never replace this place with something modern! It's earned it's place here in the Old Kent road. Actually, it's probably the best looking building along the block!

This pub has stood it's ground when all around has changed. Is it mid-Victorian?..not sure. Had a couple of beers in here recently one afternoon. Not much of a selection to choose from but it was nice just to sit in the place. It's looked much like this since i can remember. Glad they (?) haven't ripped the old place apart.

Been drinking here since I lived in Trafalgar Avenue in 2001/2. May seem a little rough but I have never seen an ounce of trouble in there.
Cheap beer, well worth more than just a monopoly board kick off.
I really rate this pub.

I called up to ask what ales they had on, unfortunately the girl who answered didn't know what ale was. Worrying. But we may need to pop by for the monopoly board crawl, esp as everyone else says it's a good pub.

Very friendly family run pub with several cheerful Irish regulars. I tend to use the pub when going to home games at the Den. The kids are always welcome which is a big plus.

I used to live across the rd too in 3a.
Though its still 7 miles away I still go back once a month to see Pat & co.
It does look rough from the outside but its a great drink inside.

i used to live accross the road from this pub in london. we've had many a session i there. although it looks a bit dodgy it's always great fun. some scary looking regulars though that aren't to be mssed with!
