Ealing Park Tavern

“Welcome to The Ealing Park Tavern, hidden away in the South Ealing suburbs. The wood, brick and whitewash exterior, reminiscent of something from a Harry Potter movie, holds many a tale and now we are looking to put our own stamp in the gastro pub...” more...

Review of The Canterbury Arms from 28 February 2013

Looks nice, being an olde traditional kind of pub.

The best thing to drink though was Strongbow, which at 1.90 a half is rather more expensive than you'd expect in a down to earth, grimey local off the main drag.

Review of The Canterbury Arms from 11 November 2012

I'd love to review this place, but was rudely banned from entry apparently because the place was full when it blatantly wasn't by the very grumpy owner : our crime, presumably was carrying a Marks&Spencer carrier bag whereby he said we couldn't come in because it wasn't a restaurant and he didn't want our rubbish (there was nothing in the bag!) . The matter was more baffling by him telling every male (or parties with males in) that they were full, but let in all the females. I've been coming here for years prior to gigs at Brixton, and now regret spending any money in a place that is so rude, inconsistent, and has such poor, abrasive, and rude attitude to customers.

A good 'proper’ pub with a good selection of beers, including Bass !. A good place to watch the football and enjoy a nice pint of guinness!

Review of The Canterbury Arms from 21 April 2008

In all my 11 years of gig going to the Brixton Academy I did not know about this place until Friday night when I impromptually went to see the Hives with two friends. When told about the location of this place I was unsure given that the nearby Goose and Whetherspoons are dodgy as hell.

Although this is delight. Great choice of beers, fantastic old Irish guy behind the bar who did not approve of adding blackcurrant to my Guinness. Although it is friendly, cheap, near the the Academy without the crushing and crazy atmosphere pre and post gig. I will be back here for sure and when I return I hope they have added the name painted on the outside of the pub because if I get someone to meet me they will not know if it is the Canterbury Arms or not!

Review of The Canterbury Arms from 9 April 2008

Good proper drinking pub. Great for watching football with a good crowd and always lots of banter. Gets livelier in the evenings and even have the odd dj nights in the big room through the back.

Review of The Canterbury Arms from 10 March 2008

Some may call the Canterbury Arms an Old Man pub, but if you’re looking for a place to sit down and watch the football on a Saturday afternoon, you’d be hard pressed to find a better place in Brixton. 2 42” Plasma TV’s and lots of space. Friendly staff (The Landlord is a liverpool fan) and reasonably priced beer. Definitely a safe pub in Brixton because you are about 20m from the police station!
