Lord Clyde in Southwark

Genuine London pub, with darts board, board games and classic local open to all vibes, the sort of we really need more of, where most have shut, gone main chain or gentry chasing. Thank you for being.

Feels like a traditional pub, great atmosphere

Decent pub, but some bar staff took noticeably longer to serve drinks. A little on the pricier side too.

Good selection of drinks including some cask ales... Felt like a proper traditional pub...

Very good pub about five minutes walk from Borough Underground Station. Five cask beers on handpump when I last visited including a porter and Draft Bass! Lots of outdoor pavement seating. The pub has a lovely Edwardian Truman's pub exterior with beautiful tiling. It also has a very pleasant interior with wooden half panelled walls and comfortable seating.

The atmosphere is stunning. The decore and the music lend a vibe of your home pub where you had your first drink, it's incredibly nostalgic vibes. The food is fantastic with a mix of proper pub food and more experimental options. The bar staff are some of the friendliest people you'll meet. Also if you like a board game, I've spent many an hour playing chess, checkers, battleships and snakes and ladders until I have to go home.

Great little pub and a piece of London’s history. Good ale and choice of beers.

Beautiful little pub in Borough. All the staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. Couldn't recommend more.

An excellent local, traditional pub. The short road outside was pedestrianised at some point in time and the pub has tables on it, which makes it a good place for when the sun is shining, but it's also nice and cozy inside in winter. Good beers selection and it has a great atmosphere for sporting events like the world cup and Six Nations.

Attention, c’est gens ne sont pas sérieux. Ils prennent des réservations et lorsque vous arrivez sur place à huit, aucune table n’a été réservée et le patron vous dit sans un bonjour, ni un mot d’excuse : « no children after eight ». Je pense que les touristes ne sont pas les bienvenus. Ils ont tout à fait le droit de réserver leur établissement aux habitués, mais il serait convenable de ne pas prendre de réservation Nous nous sommes retrouvés le bec sans l’eau, à devoir chercher un restaurant en dernière minute pour huit personnes.

Nice cosy looking pub with a good selection of beers but an indifferent attitude from staff.

Traditional old school pub well worth a visit

Pequeño pub encantador 10 - 15 minutos a pie del puente de Londres no lejos del concurrido mercado del distrito. Apareció aquí para el almuerzo, el propietario John era amable, con sentido del humor, la guinness era buena, así como la comida. El pub en sí es un pequeño pub tradicional 'local', por lo que puede estar ocupado durante las horas punta y no lejos de una zona turística concurrida. Al ser un edificio catalogado, tiene muchas de las características originales, lo que le da carácter, decimos por un fuego abierto que era acogedor! Estábamos alojados en un hotel cercano y nos encontramos de nuevo que por la noche para una copa rápida antes de los últimos pedidos. El gerente Maggs también fue amable, ya que somos todos los demás empleados que encontramos durante nuestra visita. Si te gustan los bares de vinos / cócteles de lujo y los bares gastronómicos de alto precio, este puede no ser el lugar para ti, pero si disfrutas de un buen pub de estilo tradicional que tiene un precio razonable para Londres, vale la pena una visita.

Visité este pub el fin de semana de mi cumpleaños. Fue recibido enseguida por el propietario que estaba ocupado sirviendo pintas de Guinness, y tuvimos un poco de bromas como mi amigo re-organizó los asientos alrededor de la mesa. Nos las arreglamos para conseguir una mesa junto al fuego abierto que era encantador y acogedor. Pedimos un poco de Guinness y esperamos a que llegara mi sobrina amiga para poder almorzar. Teníamos la envoltura de pollo y patatas fritas que era encantador, caliente, fresco y un tamaño de porción muy bueno. Todo el mundo detrás de la barra era encantador y nos sentimos como si fuera nuestro local. Nos encantó tanto que después de haber visto The Prodigy en Brixton volvimos justo antes de los últimos pedidos. Si hay un pub en el que vas mientras estás en Londres, hazlo este. Todos los que trabajan allí son encantadores y te hacen sentir tan relajado.

Absolutely Excellent. Visited on the way to the Southwark Playhouse at

Best Fish and Chips in London, bit pricey but expected for the quality of service and food

On of my fav boozers. Hidden gem status

Lovely historic exterior. Nice and old interior. Good choice of beer.

Un pequeño hallazgo fantástico. Ambiente fabuloso. Buena comida. Servicio amable Y buena selección de cervezas, etc. ¡Debes entrar aquí cuando estés en la ciudad!

Pour avoir fréquenté de nombreux pubs, je sais désormais comment reconnaître les bons. Dans les bons, les clients sont aussi sympas que le personnel. Au Lord Clyde, non seulement, c’est le cas, mais en plus le « Landlord » est doté d’humour communicatif. Nous y avons également dîné. Les plats étaient délicieux. Pour notre premier jour de vacances à Londres, cette soirée a été très réussie et nous nous souviendrons longtemps de notre conversation sur le Brexit, le football ( obligé dans un pub!), les darts et la gastronomie comparée avec Rob et Andrew, clients parfaits de ce pub ! Si vous êtes dans le quartier, n’hésitez pas à aller prendre une pinte ou deux. Chaleur humaine et convivialité sont compris.

Excellent fish and chips and IPA and very nice people 👍

One of the great pubs of London. Genuine, lovely staff and always a friendly crowd. Always have a great time. Big selection of cask and keg ales including Bass. Wonderful place, absolutely love it

Great little boozer. Came here by myself to get out of the rain and sup on a pint before heading home. Was only intending to stay for one, but the atmosphere with the welcoming service behind the bar made me stay for another cheeky one! Rare to find such a find, where you can feel at ease chatting with other punters. Especially within a busy part of London!! But here I felt at home, relaxed and will definitely come back here with friends!!

Great service from the bar staff, Mags pours a fantastic Guinness and it's a great atmosphere.

Nice atmosphere, mostly locals when I was there. Company owned, but still charming. Lovely staff.

Food, Service & atmosphere all 5/5.

This pub was just your fairly standard pub and nothing remarkable about it. However, it does allow dogs and has an outside beer garden. I didn't eat here so I can't comment on the food

Regular Guinness drinker. Well poured here & well kept. They don't make pubs like this anymore. Food is good. Lunch meal deals is a win

A classic London pub! Fish and chips paired with a pilsner was fantastic!

The only pub worth knowing about.

Beautiful pub, great staff, amazing atmosphere. Couldn't as for more! Guinness was the best I've had in London!

This pub has steadily gone downhill. Lovely old decor and position. That’s it. It used to be a good old local salt beef sandwiches etc. I’m only talking the last few years . It now serves generic pub food designed mainly office workers and tourists. I used to drink here regularly but not anymore. The new staff have no customer skills to the point of rudeness. The new owners are living off the reputation of the old owners which took years to build. May as well be a Weatherspoons. Oh and it’s not cheap. Shame Actually we dropped in tonight on the way out and true to form the barman tonight was monosyllabic and rude to my wife. There is no history or reason for this service. Glad to hear an honest response.

Beautiful pub in the heart of Southwark ran by an Irish landlord and WOW does he run a great pub. The chicken dippers and chips were fantastic while washing it down with a Guinness in hand.

Where do I start! so when you book a area to spend time with your family and don’t even get a hello from the staff . Honestly crack a smile it won’t hurt maybe do a bit of customer service training . Charging difference prices for the same drinks not sure how that works. Also getting people to leave review to slag people kids off is pathetic and a great way to run a business , the kids had no impact on your business and was sat on iPads with there parents ,sorry it’s a inconvenience to everyone that the mens toilets are in a awkward place. when you go back to pub and ask them what the problem is you get a lot of apologies for what happened but online we don’t think the review is fair .

When back the the Clyde, busy night staff were great and helpful.

Had the area booked for 3:30pm and we were early and I just asked a question if we were allowed in and the woman behind the bar bit my head of, I understood we were early but normal people would just use a better way of wording things. A family member asked if the table could be wiped and she then rudely told her that she’d have to wait as the people just gave the seat up for them as they were elderly. We spent over £200 altogether possibly even more and certain family members were charged more for the same item than others. The lady with brown hair in a bun dropped a glass on the floor and made someone else clean her mess and kept rudely looking at all of us when we were trying to enjoy ourselves as a family and she was giving us dirty looks. The way she speaks to people is appalling and won’t be going back there as she’s a nasty woman with severe attitude problems.

Great little pub! Great atmosphere and really friendly staff. Will definitely be back!

Very great pub very classy,John puts in a lot of work to make it a great booza

Unreal boozer very old school but classy, John is a legend who owns it very good lad

Great little pub! Staff always friendly & welcoming. If you’re in the area, give it a try. Very nice pint of Guinness too 🍻

Cosy and good selection of bitters

Traditional old corner pub in South London. One big room and TVs make it a bit noisy. Range of standard beers and inner London prices.

Mags great bar person great beers wonderful night

Friendly staff and good beer. Thanks for your good service. We can’t wait to be back.

Mags great love her great service

Excellent pub experience! Very clean, warm, and comfortable. Staff are kind, knowledgeable, and courteous. Everyone makes you feel welcome as soon as you walk in the door.

Conforme aux commentaires vus sur le site, le restaurant est assez petit, à peine séparé avec le pub. Commande au bar, petite carte mais suffisante. Excellent fish and chips à 17£...bonnes bière et vin, au prix classique londonien. Joli restaurant, assez typique et juste à l'écart de la foule. Simple à trouver.

Great staff and beer. Thanks all, we'll be back

Linsey, Michael and Becca were so welcoming and friendly, I felt like I was with family. Such a beautiful Edwardian pub with a diverse mix of regulars and visitors. Thoroughly recommend!!

Excellent!!! Very local, everything excellent!! Thanks for everything!!!

Nous avons choisi ce pub pour sa proximité avec les activités où nous nous trouvions et pour ses bons avis. La décoration est typique des pubs anglais et c'est pour cela que nous y sommes allés. L'accueil est sympa et souriant. On nous trouve rapidement une table et la commande se passe au comptoir. Nous avons opté pour des limonades, un fish & chips avec sauce tartare et petits pois en purée et frites ainsi que des saucisses purée avec petits-pois. Nous avons également tenté le brownie chocolat avec sa sauce et sa boule de glace. Les plats nous sont parvenus rapidement et étaient très bien préparés. Ni trop gras, ni trop salés, juste ce qu'il faut pour être savoureux. Le brownie était délicieux et très bien préparé, un régal. Nous en avons eu pour 46 £ à deux, sans taxe ajoutée (comme cela peut se faire dans d'autres endroits). Une très bonne adresse.

Tiene solera, y como pub lo puntuaría mejor. Pero como restaurante es muy normalito tirando a bajo. Eso si, son muy estrictos con la edad de sus clientes si son menores (17 años)aunque no beban alcohol y estén acompañados de sus padres, a las 21:00 horas a la calle, o sea que son muy legales. Si vuelvo solo será para beber y/o ver deportes.

Good vibes here, close to tate modern

We had a family get together for lunch. Staff very accommodating food was delicious. The landlord was there...such a nice guy. Highly recommend a visit

Great atmosphere definitely recommend! Friendly and warming staff. Variety of food, it was delicious. I will definitely be coming back.

lovely place, brilliant atmosphere and the food is amazing (cheese and bacon burger 10/10). Very friendly staff too, would definitely come back.

Cosy. Chilled. Very nice place to spend an evening.

Really nice tradition pub with great service and lovely food. Highly recommend!.

Always a good visit. Came at lunchtime. Nice fires keeping you warm. Wine and beer were good. Wish we had eaten here, they have a good lunchtime deal. UPDATE 17/08/24 pint Addams Ghost Ship £6.25, even more expensive than the pubs in Borough Market. 😡😡

Great pub, love coming here for some lunch in the week or a few drinks after work. The staff are super friendly, and really go above and beyond to make sure their customers are well looked-after - especially Lindsey and Michael. Lovely outdoor space away from the road, would recommend their lunchtime sandwich deals.

Locale molto caratteristico con atmosfera piacevole da vero pub inglese. Personale cordiale e disponibile. Ottima qualità dei cibi

Very characteristic place with a pleasant atmosphere of a real English pub. Friendly and helpful staff. Excellent quality of food

Nice traditional English pub with very friendly team and great food

Fantastic time Friday. Brought some clients in for drinks and food they were totally blown away by the pub food and staff as good as ever again many thanks

Another visit and yet again I wasn't disappointed. The bar staff are so friendly and welcoming. As always John was on top form. I had dinner - the fish was delicious. I always enjoy my visits and as always would highly recommend anyone to pop in for some food and drink.

Splendid to find a real, traditional, old fashioned London pub when so many have disappeared or become 'gastropubs'.

Great pub Great beer Great food and a Great find

Great friendly pub very friendly landlord John had nice chat very accommodating and keeps a great pint of Guinness best one I've had yet

A lovely friendly pub Made to feel welcome Staff made conversation as I was on my own Clean and well presented in all areas. Have been here before and was not disappointed on that visit either Well done Guys

Traditional pub with a community feel. Was very busy - the barman could have done with some help. Also a shame that a couple of the beers were off but overall a good experience.

Great service, efficient, and nice staff! Mags is wonderful and amazingggggg!!!

Great service, very welcoming and friendly. Tasty food and the best pint of Guinness around! Will be back!

Lovely little pub, didnt do food but will try next time, bar staff was lovely and friendly and the atmosphere is exactly what you want from a classic little pub like this!

No kids' menu in strong contrast to what their webpage claims. Furthermore, their menu was even more reduced than advertised, so the options which caused us to choose the pub were not available. The food was fine.

Go visit a nice old pub in borough, lovely beer and food

An excellent little pub a little bit off the beaten path in Southwark. Always a really friendly welcome - a great atmosphere in the winter and an excellent outside area for summer. A proper pub.

If ever someone was asking me what pubs to visit around Borough, I’d tell them to avoid the George and other touristy pubs around the market, walk 5 mins to The Lord Clyde. It’s a great boozer with great carpet, nice staff and decent booze. Haven’t eaten there so won’t comment on the food. If in the area, do go, it’s a proper pub 😊

Lovely out fashioned Pub. Great atmosphere and lovely friendly staff.

Cute pub off the main drag that is quiet and has a great patio!

Just one of London's gems. A proper pub.

Nice pub for a good Fish N Chips and a good pint of Guinness

Quickly becoming my local! Great pints, great food, great location. Love it.

Nice old fashioned pub, looks like it hasn't had a paint job since before the smoking ban

This is a great old fashioned pub with lovely people and very friendly staff. Service is fast, food good and more importantly, the beer prices good. Optional outside seating to the front, great in this hot weather.

Awesome, classic old school pub. Great service.

Without a shadow of a doubt, London's best pub.

Great range of beers served by a landlady who was quick and efficient. Didn't eat here but my colleagues enjoyed the food and it was great value.

Authentic english pub in London. The staff was very friendly

Nice little pub hidden away in Southwark. Some good real ale beers on offer.

What a great old school pub, great atmosphere and friendly service! There isn't many pubs like this around any more, probably the best in Southwark. Jimmy if you read this I'll be back and I want that pint you owe me! Enjoy your night mate! Would definitely recommend to anyone in the area!

Visited this pub while down from Newcastle. Tried the pie which was nice, good gravy. Love the interior and the staff were friendly.

A pub that reminds you of yesteryear of how pubs were.

One of my favourite pubs in Southwark! Food atmosphere..it's the Bees Knees !!

One of my favourite pubs in London! Worth a visit and always a great pint!

Hard to come by a pub as good as this these days

Proper old school pub. Really nice atmosphere with friendly people working there. My favourite pub in London.

Personally, I really liked it with you, the food tasted good and the drinks were nice and cold, the atmosphere was great, you have to visit you yourself

Love this pub. Great atmosphere, friendly staff, good range of beers - one of London’s best kept secrets. Been coming here for over 20 years. If you want a genuine (good) London pub experience, you won’t find any better! Thoroughly recommended!

I organised a reunion most of the 16 people did not eat. I ordered some chips and chicken wings. Proper chunky chips. !
