The Hope, Wandsworth Common

I love this pub, It is the perfect place to nurse a sore head on a Saturday afternoon and complete with all required for the start of any daytime drinking session - a huge selection of beer, a fair selection of wine, champagne and even a cheeky prosecco.

The food is maintained at a very high standard although the menu could be a little more diverse. I love the open plan kitchen, which allows a slight snifter of the eagerly awaited.

I thought the comments below about the staff were quite amusing, I know we have our favourites! Generally they are fantastic and as with all pubs they will have there off days. Sara likes to occasionally come across as a bit of a battle axe but we all know she�s a softie really!

Decor inside is a little interesting with copper chain mail curtains and a subtle 60/70's feel but with the leather sofas, large comfy chairs and wooden tables there is something very unpretentious to the place. Having said that - WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO FIX THE LEAKY CEILING?

Located between the station and the Common, The Hope makes for the perfect start/end to any pub crawl and my only issue is that they still close at 11pm on the weekends.

Worth a trip from far and wide...
