The Falcon

A child and dog friendly pub serving food with Sky TV and WiFi and a garden in Clapham Junction.

Details

Not only is this pub a grade II listed building but it is also one of Britain’s Real Heritage Pubs on CAMRA’s National Inventory of Pub Interiors of Outstanding Historic Interest.

The Falcon is situated within Battersea’s busy shopping area. When constructed in 1887, it served as both a hotel, useful for travellers using Clapham Junction station, and as for locals as a regular drinking spot.

The architecture is made for show and the interior is where the pub really shines. The curved serving area vies with Glasgow's Horseshoe Bar as the longest pub counter in Britain. The back fitting of the servery is very tall with stairs leading to the cellar.

Similar to the Windsor Castle, nearby, visiting The Falcon offers the chance to step back in time to how a classy pub would look a century or more ago.

The public bar is large and would have featured internal partitions earlier in the pub's history. A splendidly panelled room features a wood carvings and a sizeable wooden fire surround. The skylights are modern and sadly don't add to the character.

A snug is situated on the left side behind a timber and glass screen. Look out for original glass work bearing a falcon and the words 'Private Bar' at the entrance to the lobby.

For an even better example of glass work, go to the rear room which shows the pub painted in its pre-1887 form as well as its present form. The pub once had a landlord named Mr Death, and one of the painted depictions shows a funeral carriage stopping at Death's Door.
