Flowers Of The Forest in Southwark

Iconic spot for a pint of Guinness

Very local pub feel. Lots of screens. Pool table. Good place to just chill with a beer.

Always a friendly welcome from this pub.

Went there to play pool and regretted it as A) Only one pool table (out of more I believe) was available. B) The cost was 15£ per hour 😳😳 (compared to pubs where you put in a pound coin that is crazy) C) Did not check out the beers.

Relaxed pub with friendly staff. No food available. we wanted lunch so we were disappointed to only find packaged nibbles.

Has a great suntrap beer garden.

I wish I could rate this 0. I went in with my friends, who have just moved to the area and were looking for a friendly local but we were so mistaken. They both ordered expensive respectable drinks (double tequila tonic and double gin and tonic) at the price of £12 each! I have heart surgery tomorrow and couldn’t drink, so they took me out to distract me from my anxiety. When the bartender asked for my order I said “I’m okay for now thank you!” and the bartender proceeded to say “That’s the wrong answer. You have to order a drink, this isn’t a waiting room love.” I looked in shock because I have never been treated this way and almost thought he must be joking with this rude attitude, and he turned back to me and said “You look confused is something wrong?” In an extremely rude tone. Bare in mind the place was completely empty, we weren’t stealing seats and my friends ordered respectably expensive drinks! He was just so vile, I would absolutely not recommend this establishment at all.

Just the most horrific location in the United Kingdom. Most horrendous atmosphere, I felt as if I'd just entered communion with Satan by my side that's how terrible the feeling was - just absolutely vile. Rudeness, quite frankly-evilness was what I was met with at the doors of this establishment. Never go here, EVER. I will not disclose details but I witnessed multiple very dark activities happening, and I found the staff to be extremely rude, even satanic. I'm incredibly scared of this location and I would advise that NO ONE GO HERE. Such a deeply scary experience and the moment I left was a sigh of relief.

Today was my first visit to this pub. The staff was friendly with a nice atmosphere, and a large selection of beers. I didn't have a meal but the menu looked very nice.I'll certainly come back again.

This was a friendly pub and fairly cheap. However it has 5 TV screens including a massive one. This pub is good for sports fans. Unfortunately I'm not one. There was a football match showing when I visited and I found the sound from the screens and the patrons voices a bit too loud for my liking.

Proper pub. Friendly gent behind the bar. Cheers.

This was a great pub. My group got stuck here on New Years day and ended up having a great time. The drinks are reasonably priced and the atmosphere is beyond friendly.

Patronising manager, excessively loud music and sterile atmosphere. Would not recommend.

Bar has fruit flies and glasses were dirty. This was my first time there so not sure if they were just having an off night

Unsure if food is served but went with my sister in law and our children and loved the atmosphere, lovely bar staff, and great garden to enjoy the flowers and have a tipple!

Wir waren im H10. Das Beste an diesem Hotel war der Pub gegenüber. Schön im kleinen Garten zu sitzen! Freundliche Bedienungen, die uns an unserem letzten Abend zum Abschied umarmt haben. Ganz tolles Pub! Beim nächsten London-Besuch sind wir sicher wieder dort.

Nice local pub . Good outdoor seating

Great Irish pub in Southwark, perfect for a stop off with mates and bikes, especially on a sunny afternoon with seating out front and garden at the back. Guinness at a reasonable price too.

Another one of London’s old school boozers! Lovely drop of Guinness and a decent pool table.

When I walked in with my wife the music literally stopped. We were staying at the H10 and wanted to play pool and have drinks. We asked if they had a drink menu for beers and they laughed and said this is a pub. We sat down and debated if we wanted to stay while the bartender laughed at us and then recommend we go to Waterloo for drinks. Which we did, what a way to lose a customer and no pool for us oh well. Don’t waste your time with this local spot unless you like be treated poorly.

Like this pub so many reasons very friendly staff, beer garden out back one part under cover with heaters mainly for smokers on a cold day. although I am not a smoker. two multi sports screen, plus pool table. Regulars are also friendly, very rarely fully packed out so comfortable atmosphere. Beer prices believe cheapest in the area.

Gezellig, zeer vriendelijke uitbaatster (Ingrid) topservice! Leuke pub, de moeite waard!

Excellent service and excellent lagers to choose from

Always good people and a good time!

Gezellig en gastvrij. 2 leuke avonden gehad 😁

Great service, good atmosphere.

My mom and I were in London for three days and found this bar near the hotel we were staying in.The bar staff was very friendly and gave great recommendations on the beer we should try. The bar had a nice little patio on the back which was nice and relaxing. I highly recommend this place.

Tasty beer and nice people from all over the world.

Schöner Pub, aber zu spartanisch eingerichtet. Hier fehlt ein wenig die Liebe zum Detail. Die Getränke waren sehr lecker und angenehm kühl. Nette Bedienung, Preise moderat.

Best original old style pub in london. Best bar person ever (Ingrid!) - great place for watching sport and unpretentious drinking! Pool, jukebox, slots as well. Gotta go!

Nice place, really kind bartender

Are there any waiters? Nobody was interested in us, so we went to another place after waiting for ages.....

I called into this pub to meet a legal eagle, it was the first time I had been into this establishment for over 20 years and found that the pub had changed hands. At £4:35 a pint I found it appealing for the area, well worth a visit!

I am from Puerto Rico and the service was OUTSTANDING every night I went. Extremely friendly, caring and trying to help at all moment. Tean, the bar guy, was AWESOME with us, they do not serve food and allow us to eat-in frkm other place. BRAVO!!

Nice pub with a great bar woman The only thing is....She keeps on talking about anything

Made me feel like a local after 10 minutes cos they thought that im possibly a copper, Go there its realy nice

Pal got attacked in there, place has lost its charm.

It's been local to me for years but until today I had never been inside

Relaxed,unhurried,best Guiness I've had in a while.

Awful. Ok if you live locally I suppose, but otherwise somewhere to avoid

my experience was horrific I had brung my nan and grandad for a quiet drink to which I thought was a local traditional tavern pub our visit turned out to be absolutely dreadul. 1. the bar staff was arguing and fighting with each other and did not show any customer service at all even a smile they just said "der you go" 2. everyone was taking drugs and I actually got offered to buy or have some 3. everyone was drunk with red faces and was arguing with eachtoher 4. everyone was in tracksuits and there was pair of dirty trainers sitting on the bar when I was being served again the bar staff did not care Absulty dreadful never go here!!! It was a shame as I felt terribly embarrassed to have even taken anyone of my family there least of all my grandparents.

Decen garden. Dingy interior. Pretty odd for a pub to run out of gin!

My partner and I took 3 day trip to London and stayed in hotel beside this little bar. And next thing everything we done involved a stop into the bar. The women behind bar is the most polite person I came across in London felt very welcomed. Was very sad when leaving as I just wanted to bring the bar and barmaid home with us !🤣 next we visit we will definitely be paying a visit back! Thank yous for being the joy of our holiday!

Proper pub this one. Friendly vibes. Has everything you want.

Nice place comfortable atmosphere

Booked a couple of tables over the phone on Wednesday morning, showed up at the time that I'd booked on Saturday evening and the tables weren't there. Staff were completely unhelpful and impolite when my friends reported the problem: claimed that the person I spoke to on the phone no longer worked at the pub. Shocking service and ruined our evening.

Interesting little South London pub full of a lot of characters can be very interesting when football games are on

Thank you to the best pub for brightenen my day!a big thank you to Kim and lisa so kind and friendly.thanks again!

Love this pub great staff and always a good vibe

Great pub, very friendly clientele and good bèer

Nice pub,great barmaid who opened kitchen early and made me a much needed breakfast. A class act

Good sized pub with a decent beer garden. Football screen in the garden offers a good option for football fans

Sheltered courtyard at rear, this is a real old fashioned pub. Nothing fancy just good beer and friendly staff.

First of all.. the name. Absolutely amazing. Second of all, brilliant night, fun crowd met a guy callled Neil. Awesome! Would highly recommend. Also fell in love tonight. Best dating place in the UK. I’ve been dating for a while now. All over England. This has been the most intense romantic evening I’ve ever had.

Real pub. Great Guinness, beer garden, sport, pool table, traditional Irish pub.

Lovely pub friendly staff recommended you go and have a drink and find out how good it is

A great little off-the-beaten path pub. Traditional and unpretentious. Good crowd.

Ordered a vodka and coke got the coke had to ask if he put the vodka in then had to watch him to make sure I also noticed on my bank statement that he charged me twice won't visit there again

Perfektny pub so super atmosferov. Odporucam nasat UK atmosferu.

Loved it. Great neighborhood pub!! Not touristy, just locals having a pint.

Gute Atmosphäre, cooler Billardtisch

Lugar super agradable y relajante,atendimento correcto,esta muy bien.

Stopped in for a pint. Had a friendly barmaid and good beer. Couldn't fault the place

We sat out in this Irish pubs garden in the afternoon for half an hour and enjoyed our Guinness while listening to the - mostly 80s? - music!

Good place to go me and my mates where their for five hours on a bank holiday the only thing that was wrong no food(hot) available.

A simple neighborhood boozer, just off At George's Circus (A mile from everywhere). Good beer and good people! There is a pool table for those feeling athletic, also a delightful courtyard + tables on the pavement. Enjoy

Quick drink ended up quite a few drinks! Friendly staff, great choice of drinks and a fabulous juke box. Recommended.

Bit of a time machine to my first time in London more than a couple years ago. Prices are low, afternoon is for the regulars, service is meh to just alright, but don't come here for that, come here to get your drink on and see how "real" Londoners get after it.

Dropped into this small London pub for a quick counter lunch which was adequate for our needs. The bartender was friendly and efficient and we enjoyed a very informal meal in a very relaxed atmosphere. Worth a visit if in this part of London.

Good fun and a nice place for a social hang out. :) I guess that says it all.

You can have a good time with the locals here, try it on St Patrick's day great atmosphere.

Wonderfull guinuass. But its a secret do not all go there at once.

Good place to watch sports and general have fun...

Threw a party with my friends and had an amazing time. Kim and her crew were lovely in hosting us!

The Flowers! Great pub in South East London friendly staff and friendly people good place for a night out!

Certainement pas le plus beau pub de Londres , c'est presque un bistrot de quartier , voisin du bel hôtel H10 Waterloo . Bonnes bières , mais petite ambiance d'habitués . On peut s'abstenir .... ou rentrer !

Great place to watch sports and chill with friends. Beer OK but not presented well (wrong glass) definitely a downer for me.

Nice Irish pub, with a snooker table

Nice and clean,sells brown ale, Newcastle,only alas no Mann's.

This pub was a great little find. Place for many locals to catch up for some pool or just a pint on the way home from work. Lots of the clientele seem to know each other. Of course we felt a bit like outsiders ( because we were ). The type of place you have in mind when you think of a British a Pub. We didn't eat here. So can't recommend anything. But I do recommend popping in for a taste of the real England.

Lovely little pub, fast and friendly service

1st visit. It was ok but expecting a wider selection of ales.

Pint under £4 so bonus Local good pub

This place was beside the H10 hotel. I did not have the food because I went during the evening . I know they open for lunch. It is a good place to watch locals playing pool and drink a pint or two. relax atmosphere. I would try it for lunch next time

Amazing bar, sraff and beer! great for watching football

friendly staff and good atmosphere for watching live sports games

Good place to meet up with friends

집 앞이라 자주 갔던 곳! 다 평범하다 영국 할아버지들 많이 계시고 ,,! Aka할배펍..?!? 축구같은 경기볼 땐 큰 스크린 덕에 사람들이 넘나 많아요!! 즐거운 분위기 굿굿 맥주 따라주시는 아저씨 넘 착하심 ㅎㅎ

Great staff at this charming local

Good bar staff good food very frienly place to be always feel welcomed

Only stopped for a couple of refreshments but was happy

Nice pub with beer yard, if a bit pricey

Be careful guys when entering this place. The bar staff is ok, but the owners of the pub who are drinking on the other side is agressive and mean. They will tell you that because you are not coming here often enough - you need to follow THEIR rules. The blond old lady is very aggressive and is ready for a conflict,asking for it! Have not been treated that bad anywhere else in London

Had a good time here. Staff was friendly and prices were fair.

Best pub in London and best staff

Applied for a job, told different during communication and very unprofessional management. Don't apply for jobs.

The price is not expensive for a pub in central London.

Typisk engelsk pub med där tillhörande känsla. och trevlig anda som som brukligt är

A good, in the neighborhood, pub
