Lord Nelson in Southwark

Burgers 10/10 Drinks 10/10 Staff 11/10 The pub has a great atmosphere and a really quirky design. Some great shots on offer as well as all your regular bar classics. I always go when I visit London!

One of the best places to have a burger in London. A large selection of great and unique burgers combinations at a great place. They give you a lot of freshly cooked food at a great price. Unique and interesting interior decoration and also a great outdoor patio also.

5*********. The best burgers in London with the best decor! You’ve got to come here whether you’re a local or a tourist!!!! ❤️

Great burgers, they claim the best if London, but for us the best we had in a long, long time! Great portion sizes, good variety, home made hot sauce is gives plenty of heat but doesn't ruin your palate. All in all a great experience. Oh, and do try the chocolate salty balls!

Fun, silly, perfect for all occasions. House shots were a fun surprise, thank you Nelson 💖

Such a fun place to be! Everything and everyone is lovely! 🤩

Great pub can’t recommend enough!

great food, staff + amazing decor. quizzes are super fun, they usually happen once a month (be sure to book it asap because they get filled up quick) ! 10/10 recommend, one of my favourites in ldn <3

A fantastic experience overall. The vibes are to die for. Good beer, excellent value for money. The staff are really friendly. The food is fantastic too, make sure to get the special hot sauce along with it. Would recommend to anyone in the area wanting to try a pub that's fun and wholesome.

Genuinely the worst food experience I have ever had. 1. Had a long conversation about what burgers they could do gluten free and ordered a gluten free (without the bun) burger 2. Got brought one in a bun that I couldn't eat and sent it back to be fixed 3. Got told the kitchen had just closed and they wouldn't fix it for me 4. Tried to refund me £1 less than what I had paid 5. Then continued to bring out new orders despite telling me mine couldn't be fixed

Avoid coming here if you have allergies. Friend ordered a gluten free meal and it came out as normal. Luckily he checked it wasn't gluten free. Staff couldn't care less about the error and just offered a free pint for the 'inconvenience', shocking...

Absolutely loved it! The burger was massive, juicy, and packed with flavor loaded with melted cheese, plenty of pickles, and grilled perfectly. The fries were thick-cut, crispy outside, and fluffy inside, just the way I like them. The sides of coleslaw and sauce added a nice extra touch. Portions are seriously generous you won't leave hungry. Atmosphere was casual and lively, with a cool, colorful vibe inside. Staff were friendly and service was quick too. Highly recommend if you're craving a proper loaded burger and a relaxed place to enjoy it!

Is this place real?! Absolutely insane burgers and amazing service! If burgers were part of five a day I would be here every night 😀

Love this place! Warm and lively place. There's always something quirky on every corner of this place. Gareth was accommodating, friendly and shared knowledge on travel tips as we're visitors. Their special lamb burger was tasty and portions were large. A variety of drinks we're available at fair prices as well. Highly recommended!

Great pub. Good beer music and staff. Burger heaven!

Kind of rogue place but the burgers are genuinely fantastic

Really nice pub with interesting decor. A good selection of beer and a nice atmosphere. Service is friendly. Didn't try the food, but their burgers looked good.

Solid drinks in a colorful place. The food had big portions for a fair price.

Quirky pub with a young audience and a vibrant interior. Decent drinks selection and wow, the burgers..! I would definitely recommend.

Gonna say it. Best burger I've ever had in London

A place with a very fun decoration. Incredible burgers and great intention. We will return

Very friendly, great staff and we really enjoyed our burgers!

Great bar with burgers! The beer is freshly tapped and the atmosphere is really great! The burgers were also great!

As always a cracking atmosphere, with incredible staff. A home away from home in the heart of Southwark

A very nice discovery!! Atypical decoration, good atmosphere (those who want peace and quiet go your way) Super friendly and understanding staff with our very bad English ;-). Great burger the Best, very hearty, well done to the chef!!! So go ahead and go crazy!!! Thank you for this French Kiss moment!!

Amazing bar with strong Noel Edmunds vibe

You have to go there!! It is possible to just have a drink but we wanted to eat there (2 adults and 2 children) Atypical pub/restaurant decor. Bar service even for meals. Carafe of lemon water at the table. We ate really well!! Very copious plates... small appetite gone your way. Cooking mainly Burgers. Be careful if you like peace and quiet, you risk being disturbed. Good-natured atmosphere.

Just a great place with great staff and great burgers. Casual, friendly and quirky atmosphere. Would go again for sure!

Made to feel very welcome on my own with 2 children. We had a lovely meal and really enjoyed our visit!

Great music, atmosphere, decor and service. Next time, I'll try the burgers too.

The scampi and chips were very good. The burger was also good. Everything is made in-house. The fries are very good and crispy. The portions are quite large so go very hungry. The girls who welcomed us were very friendly. The picturesque place has its own charm.

Super big burger in a rock pub ! Impossible to go out hungry for less than 20£

Always come to this pub, cosy quirkey atmosphere, and their burger is indeed one of the best!

The place is super nice, it has very good music, the employees are super friendly and respectful. The burgers are some of the best I've ever had, I'm super happy with this place

They are super friendly, the food is delicious and the place is super nice. They are not wrong when they say "the best burgers currently." The bathroom is very clean, like the entire restaurant.

Eevee is the best server ever, she really made me feel welcome and it set my night off to a good start. Hope she has the best life. Love Josh

Tomamos un par de pintas con un amigo allí y también tuvimos una hamburguesa cada uno. Tomé la hamburguesa de maní y tocino. Estaba ligeramente seca (la mantequilla de maní definitivamente no ayudó con eso) pero agregué un poco de salsa y me gustó mucho. No era demasiado caro y el ambiente era muy agradable. Se pone muy ruidoso debido a que es un lugar pequeño, pero en general es un lugar muy agradable para tomar un bocado o solo unas pintas.

Super cool interiors, great prices, NHS blue light discount and student discount available. Burger portion was massive with chips and coleslaw. Heaps of veg and vegan options. Lots of sauces on the table to take your pick. The Big Fat Veggie (patty, egg, hash browns, tomato, onions) was yum but quite salty.

Nice pub with really funky decor. It is a cool hang out spot!

Warm and relaxed atmosphere, the service is fast and the cuisine is hearty!

Great hidden jewel of a pub. Love the decor and food. Chips were excellent, Budvar dark in tap. The Nelson Export beer is posh though. Tastes eggy like rebranded Fosters

No burgers that day! Damage ! Otherwise, the decoration is incredible, the team is very friendly, the beers are excellent and not too expensive. A pub as we like them.

Nos encantó nuestra visita a The Nelson! fabuloso, bonkers decoración, gran música y ambiente - comida increíble! Fuimos en el cumpleaños de nuestra hija y todos eran tan encantadores - pusieron una vela en su hamburguesa y todos cantaron Feliz cumpleaños - gran amor Remy ❤️ La comida es muy buena - no comas en el día que planeas venir - las porciones son ENORMES! Sin duda volveremos - gracias pandilla! X

Great beer, lovely house bitter on cask. Lovely friendly, chatty staff. Top notch décor, tons of tiny silly things to discover. But oh my goodness the food is splendid. I had a wild boar and blue cheese burger that my belly memory will treasure forever. So rare, so gooey I’m dribbling just thinking about it.

I love the Lord Nelson! It has a perfect balance of lively yet relaxing atmosphere, pretty much any night or afternoon of the week! Staff is always friendly and easy going when ordering. The decor is really unique, and certainly stands out amongst the trend toward modernist pub design. The drinks have great prices for central London, even better if you’re a student. The house pints aren’t bad! Also, the burgers are genuinely fantastic, among the best I have had. Shockingly filling as well. Love this place every time I go either with mates or for a date, and highly recommend it to anybody!

Vino a tomar una copa de Navidad con un par de viejos amigos. Gran comida, gran cerveza, y un santuario para Noel Edmonds - tiene todo lo que busco en un pub. Volveré.

Amazing food and service, too. What a gem!!!! Highly recommend it ❤️❤️❤️ Simon, the owner went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The mince pies shots are definitely worth a try!

Definitely one of the best places to have drinks and to have an amazing food. Simon (one of the owners of the place) is absolutely amazing the atmosphere is brilliant and you just range to come back again for their lovely welcoming and tasty food / drinks. 100% recommend this place to anyone of yours around.

Too loud for conversation. Good burgers but crap buns that might be slightly better if they were toasted. Gents toilet is a disgrace. Dirty and poorly maintained.

Fantastic pub! Quirky decor that I absolutely loved! Very wide range of different burger toppings. Friendly staff. Quick service. Huge portion. Even do a blue light discount. Loved the music choices!

Can’t beat the quality for this price in London. Great burger amazing menu choice good pint selection. Fun vibe.

Teníamos la hamburguesa Elvis y la hamburguesa grande y gorda. Ambos estuvieron bien, pero la grasa grande, como se anuncia, fue mucho. Así que pasa hambre de eso. Dos pueden dividirse fácilmente.

Nicholas the absolute CHAMPION! He was a knight in shining armour to a guest and gave excellent customer service. Will be coming back for the mere chance to run into such royalty.

Da shiznit Edit: It's been 7 years. The Shizniting NEVER stops!

Nice atmosphere but don't go there for food. The biggest joke in London. 1h00 to get the fish fingers delivered and only half of the things which were mentioned in the menu were not served. I would never recommend this place.

Finding ourselves in the area with an hour to kill this evening, had the Lord Nelson recommended to us. From the road it looks ok. Inside? Totally different story. Bright, fun, colourful, great beers on tap. Staff are great, creating a real fun party atmosphere. Will absolutely return next time we are in the area. Oh and kudos for the music play list - totally enjoyed it.

Love this pub. Quirky and just a cool atmosphere. Super friendly and nice food.

What a place! So many choices of burgers. Very friendly manager and overall a great vibe. Loved it

Excellent beer & food, enjoyed in a nice place 🤗

Great atmosphere, very friendly staff and the best burger in London!!! I'm never disappointed, always a great night out!

Great pub with the best burgers I have had in London! Great decor and music and friendly staff. Can't wait to go back next week!

This is my first time writing a review, and it’s due to how terrible our experience was. The burgers were DISGUSTING, and the fries tasted like they were cooked in old oil. There was HAIR on the hot sauce bottle. Even the coke was disappointing, tasting more like sugary water. To top it off, it’s not even cheap. You can find much better food and drinks for the same price pretty much anywhere else. I’m highly disappointed. Edit: I can’t respond to your message, but we already addressed the hair issue. Instead of resolving it, your staff brought back an even nastier bottle of sauce. It’s disappointing that you would respond in such a petty and unprofessional manner as a business owner. This is not how good small businesses would operate.

Just a cool set up. Nice for a pint on sunday night

We had read very good reviews and went with joy and high expectations, but there were some mishaps that dampened our spirits. I could take the time to write what happened, but I realize there is no reason to when I read the owner's always insulting responses to customer complaints. A business cannot be 100% infallible and it is good to listen to the opinion of our customers, even if it is negative. Nevertheless, I will come back for a second visit and hope things go better. I will be happy if my new review is positive.

Burgers made with love. Great bubbly service and cool cool vibessssss. Hot sauce was bombastic!

They offer a great variety of burgers. Tried their classic napolean and cartman burger and it didn't disappoint—juicy, flavorful, perfect!

Funky place but cheap student beer!

Han venido aquí por años. El mejor pub, la mejor comida, el mejor servicio. Un lugar increíble. Simon es el mejor anfitrión. Solía trabajar en esta área, pero ahora viajo para seguir visitando este lugar increíble. Casi inútil escribir una crítica como tan grande.

Top to visit in London. Phenomenal double burger

Uno de mis pubs favoritos en Londres, siempre tiene un ambiente brillante. Normalmente nos sentamos afuera pero la lluvia significaba que íbamos adentro. Brillante elección de cervezas, optamos por una pinta de Budvar cada uno que era delicioso. Era la primera vez que comía en Lord Nelson y la elección de hamburguesas para consumidores de carne y vegetarianos fue increíble y me tomó un tiempo elegir qué comer. El menú bien escrito es divertido y descriptivo. Decidí en contra del Farage (bromeando) y tenía el césped y surf que era scampi en hamburguesa de res con papas fritas y ensalada y col mi amiga tenía la Soprano que dijo que era delicioso también, era pollo o hamburguesa de res con pesto mozerella y tomate. . . . Obviamente, el personal está feliz de estar trabajando en el pub ocupado y eran un crédito para el propietario. No puedo esperar a mi próxima visita para probar otro sabor de hamburguesa. El precio de una hamburguesa y los lados incluidos es increíble para Londres

Excelente, peculiar pub lleno de risas y nostalgia. El personal del bar es cálido y amable proporcionando un increíble servicio de clase 1 calle con una sonrisa y risas para empezar. El Nelson tiene una increíble selección de bebidas y la hamburguesa... ¡guau, guau y guau! Si usted es un amante de la música hay un sabor ecléctico de la música piping a través de los altavoces. Venga a visitar el Nelson para una fantástica experiencia, una vez (esperemos que más ocasiones) en la vida.

Eclectic, cosy, welcoming pints.

Great pub, excellent service, amazing food choice. Just go you will not be disappointed with the food or ambiance. ....

Just popped over the road from the travelodge for lunch. They say best burgers in town and they definitely were, friendly staff and customers

Every time I visit I'm not disappointed, the best burgers 😋

Really nice London Pub with good atmosphere

Had a really nice lunch here. The burgers are insanely good. Quirky interior decorations and fun menu, give it a try to see what I mean.

Really fun and interesting place for younger people to go!

Fantastic burgers- huge tasty portions! Friendly staff and very quirky eclectic decor. Great location, lots of outdoor seating and just a great place to catch up with friends or for date night . Good drinks prices too

Quirky pub in the heart of the city! A big of this place is their outrageous menu of burger, some looking less palatable than others. Good food and drink. Everyone very friendly

Nice beers, amazing atmosphere, friendly staff and a good selection of beers. Unfortunately we didn’t have the chance to try the food because on that day the chef was not in but the staff was nice enough to allow us to order our food elsewhere and eat there. Cannot recommend this place enough.

Great hamburgers the meat was excellent, lots of chips. Really good style and music

Serves Murphys on tap, what more do you need.

Great portion sizes with delicious burgers. However, I was blown away by the homage to the one and only Noel Edmonds. There’s no no dealing at the Nelson, because these burgers are the real deal. Will be back.

A great find, just opposite from the Travelodge. Great atmosphere and wonderful food. Creative and interesting dishes and great value for money. Friendly staff and a huge range of choices on the menu.

Good London pub to have a few pints. Different environment

Great food I always want to go here when I'm near the area

Excellent food, wide range of burgers and good veggie and vegan options.

Good food! Good service!Great place!

The New McDanny McDyer is the best burger I've ever had. 100% recommend. Great sides too. Enjoy!

Lovely patio, quick friendly service 👍

Un pub molto carino e vivace gestito da ragazzi giovani. Hamburger superlativi e ampia scelta di birre. Non economicissimo ma prezzi decisamente in linea con la media londinese.

Really nice pub with a huge range of amazing burgers. Lovely staff too!!

A very nice and lively pub run by young guys with original decor. Superlative burgers and wide choice of beers. Not very cheap but prices definitely in line with the London average.

Lovely staff, lovely vibe here, had one of their burgers - very filling and tasty - comes with homemade chips, lettuce, tomato and even some coleslaw! Reasonably priced - especially for what you get. Thoroughly enjoyed my time there and will defo come back!

Fantastic gaff, colourful, very polite staff and the beer and food were superb.

Refused to serve food for over 90 minutes because they 'had a big order'. Poor service, made to feel second to this big group

I think they messed up my order but it tasted really good anyway

A quirky pub with some decently priced pints. The outdoor seating is quite nice and definitely more comfortable than inside. The food was okay, the chips were a bit soggy and not crunchy.

Great food amazing service would definitely recommend for a family meal,six of us 4 adults 2 teenagers food is very tasty large portions very friendly helpful staff amazing service
