Did you know
Time Out reckons it may be the only pub in London with a Britney Spears shrine, and the name comes from a nunnery that once stood on the site.
Local tip
Time Out says the Sunday roasts are very decent, with veggie and vegan haggis options and extra gravy for all. Around the corner is Skehan's, another rowdy Nunhead pub.
