Mc & Sons, Kennington

The main feature here is the original Victorian bar-back; the  bar counter also looks original.

Rebuilt in 1891 this single storey small corner pub with a balustrade on the exterior, is little changed apart from losing its internal divisions. It has a fine original five-bay bar-back with mirrored panels, several etched with floral designs, with a central ballustraded bay. The old bar counter with a matchboard-panelled front with simple brackets looks original. Along the exterior walls are good seating bays of indeterminate age, but they are certainly not original. Note the 1920s ‘Bass on Draught’ with the red triangle on several exterior windows and also the ‘To Ladies & Gentlemen’s Toilets’ blue etched and frosted glass panel in the door at the rear. There are attractive narrow leaded lights above all the exterior windows. The small snug on the left is a recent addition; the woodwork creating it is old, but has clearly been re-sited from elsewhere.
