I’ve been here maybe five times, but this is going back to 1979 (I think) so that’s an average of once every six years. The feel of the place hasn’t really changed in all that time.

As of my last visit a few months ago they have free wi-fi, a couple of real ales (I can’t remember exactly what, but Adnams Bitter is what pops up in my head), and a TV tuned into Sky Sports (but thankfully with the sound off).

I remember feeling surprised that there were so few other people there at the time (Thurs. or Fri. early evening?), but maybe that was a fluke.

Gents’ toilets are OK for a pub. I especially like the engraved glass and mirrors and the snug that DanielB87 refers to.

I have been going to the half moon for more moonsthan I care to remember now. It’s always been a music venue, but recently its added a comedy club last Thursdays of the month, and every Tues open mike night music and spoken word, which is very supportive whatever your level of performance is about. The gorgeous Kate J Hastings (see my Youtube video) and Daisy sing there occasionally, and Len the poet is MC (he’s so good). The food is Italian stone baked pizza and bruschetta/ciabatta, there’s a deal on Monday nights, 2 pizzas and a bottle of wine for £20.

When I was in London on a Schooltrip we went to this Pub every evening. Absolute fantastic. We even managed to get round the last bell in the live music part. A memory never to be forgotten.

The Half Moon is a Victorian pub with two bars and a separate live music room. Originally build as a hotel back in 1896, it has a beautiful wooden interior. The public bar has engraved mirrored walls, and an intimate snug bar.

The pub retains all of its original splendour and it remains one of the few live gig pubs in south London. They have a large sunny terrace to the front of the pub, always busy in the summer month and an ideal spot to chat and watch the world go by.

The pub has a long tradition of live music. the list of names to have graced the stage over the past 30 years is very impressive, the Police, Van Morrison an U2 have all played here in their younger days. I`m proud, my dad and my older brother also have been there on stage.
