The entrance to the Castle, an historic and popular pub in Tooting

Castle

North London


A gorgeous, boutique pub – if there is such a thing – with a winning formula of snazzy decor (wooden floors, designer wallpaper, soft furnishings and large maps on the walls), good gastropub food (mains £12.50 to £16.50), a rotating selection of craft beers and, to top it all off, a wonderful roof terrace.
