About Lucky Anchor Ale House
A bar conversion from previous use as London Velo café, which opened fully on 8th July 2024 run by experienced bar operators.
The venue has two handpumps and a wall of 16 keg taps. Bottles beers, wines and spirits are also sold.
Seating inside is mainly high stools/tables, with some traditional low level seating and subdued lighting. Décor is original Victorian white, cream and green wall tiles, a Victorian quarry tiled floor, dark green and white paint work, much work was involved in uncovering the wall and floor tiles after years of being hidden by later coverings. The toilets are located to the left at the rear of the pub.
For mobility access there is a step on entry from the street and for access to the toilets a steep step down if accessed from the bar and a lower step down if accessed from the garden.

Very nice bar. The selection of drinks is delightful, very unique beers on tap and in bottles. Nice beer garden at the rear, very clean toilets and surroundings. It really stands out from the crowd, highly suggest you visit.

Yesterday I tried a new real ale pub on Deptford, The Lucky Anchor, that used to be an old bike shop. Deptford had just lost another real ale place, the Little Faith in Creekside so I was glad to see a replacement. Although Deptford does have a high number of real ale establishments. The interior was clean and neat and tidy and has a number of regular real ales available as well as a selection of guest ales and beers. The service was friendly, polite and efficient and helpful.

Fantastic new spot on the high street. Great beers, with a large well lit garden out back, couldn't recommend this place more. The highstreet was begging for a place like this and delighted to see these guys take that spot!

Cracking little pub and really nice to get something like this opening at the New Cross end of the High St. Long overdue. Two well kept cask ales and numerous on keg. Decorated really well. Comfy seating and a secluded back yard seating area with tables. Toilets excellent. Friendly service. Reasonable prices. Great job. Give it a go! Recommended.

Really lovely new pub, interior is nice and spacious - it’s a bit of a fusion of saloon bar and traditional English pub. The gents on the bar, who I think are the owner, were friendly and very knowledgeable on their products. They have 2 rotating cask ales alongside a good lineup of keg beers on tap. Extra points for the care taken to have quality glassware for their bottled beers and spirits too.
