About Bricklayer's Arms
1826 pub with wood-panelling and a beer garden, serving real ales, cider and English wines.
Dating from as early as 1826, this cosy, family-owned, community local reopened in 2005 after some time in purely domestic use by the local hero whose purchase previously saved it from redevelopment. For a time it was the only pub in London to serve the full range of Timothy Taylor beers, with several locally brewed ales, often Twickenham, also rotating, and for several years it ran regional beer festivals and won local CAMRA and other awards.
Following closure with the 2020 lockdown, substantial building alterations, planned over several years have been successfully completed, improving the interior, providing new toilets and a new, enclosed patio and altogether preserving the pub. Apparently the cats still have the run of the roof.
The extent of the beer range can only depend on footfall as Covid restrictions are lifted. SlyBeast Putney Porter, brewed in collaboration with licensee Chris Walsh, was one of ten cask ales available for the reopening.

Best pint of Guinness I’ve had in London (been living here 3 years and tried many). Also had my first pint of Murphy’s and it was so good I had another 5

Best Guinness in London and other cask ales. It’s an upscale boozer with friendly staff and clientele alike. The locals are more than happy to explain the history and Chris the owner can often be found behind the bar.

Hidden from the usual tourist crowd this excellent little pub has a decent selection of real ales and a cozy open fire in winter.

What a find. Nice classic pub near the river with great selection of beers and a nice cosy beer garden. Will definitely be going back.
