About Clifton Arms

Cocktails & draft beer are doled out at this no-nonsense, old-school pub with an outdoor area.

The Clifton is situated in a residential area, but only a 'long throw' from Selhurst Park, and so is popular when Crystal Palace are at home, when only home fans are admitted. The building is Victorian, and was once a Nalder & Collyer house. The interior is adorned with various memorabilia, and there is a large outdoor area, mostly covered. A second cask ale is usually available on match days.

Located at the front of the pub is a Pillory Sign, this is a rare sight outside any London Pub these days. This is a well presented traditionally decorated one bar pub that is set out in a ‘J’ shape. The servery is centrally located with a solid wood counter, ornate back bar and is…

    Great pub for matchdays. Big beer garden, staff are very efficient meaning wait time is low even when very busy. Ideal for a few beers before kick off. Palace fans only another bonus.

    Palace fan? Get yourself down to the Clifton 😍 best staff in South London and very VERY reasonable pints. 🍺 The food truck outside doesn't serve too bad grub as well. Great boozer 👍 recommended 100%
