Beautiful old pub but they need to change the lightbulbs. They have energy saving bulbs in every fixture at full blast; I feel like I’m getting a fake tan. Swap half the bulbs for old school warm lighting and turn the other half off to save the energy! It will inject some atmosphere back into the place.

Very pedestrian offerings on tap, feels like a glorified estate pub (which is a shame, given the lovely building). Nice staff though, probably a decent place if you want to watch the footie with like-minded folk.

Been visiting here for years. So much better since it refurbished and no longer a weatherspoons. Great atmosphere especially on Friday and Saturday nights.

Hahaha..bit of an acquired taste. I think it's a difficult place to manage for the put upon staff. Let's just say that the public of Mitcham are challenging. And yet I feel an affinity for the place, not least the local football team. And I've been to their games since 1963!!

Had a few drinks here. Not the first time so I know what the pubs like. There was a party going on with a DJ so made it more lively than it normally is. Staff polite. I enjoyed the atmosphere. Drink prices are good. Cheaper than most pubs.

This place is extremely cheap for food and drinks! Not the most vibrant pub that I've set foot in but it absolutely does the job if you want to keep the bank account happy, whilst catching up with friends.

Amazing staff in the White Lion. Adam the manager is the best in this establishment for a very long while. Sue & tracey, fantastic servers. Cheery and happy to chat with locals. Nothings too much trouble. All the staff make this pub the one to visit if your in Mitcham. It needs a menu but the choice of drinks is great and the theme events will make you want to go in there, time and time again.

Have visited the pub briefly now twice to drop equipment off for gigs on the weekend but must say, I love the vibe and energy of this establishment. This is a fairly biased review as I am friends with people who work there and I am a member of the same company that provides their entertainment on a Friday evening... but, spacious and bright - the mix of tables, chairs and sofas give the pub a really cosy and inviting vibe and the staff are always very friendly and accomodating towards the punters. Can't wait to be able to join Vinnie for a gig very soon to see the pub in full Friday/Saturday mode.

Tracey has been fantastic. We have been trying to sort a venue for our mum's wake. Tracey and the bar staff who took the call were very helpful and got the tone 'just right' for us. Tracey provided photos of food she had recently prepared for a party and was prepared to hand make all the food, including everything having a vegan option. She sent a WhatsApp tour (I am based in the Midlands) and a proposed menu to me on the next day. The pub was very accommodating about my brother's disability when he visited and we really can't fault the people. Eventually, we chose another venue as we needed a car park for elderly/disabled relatives who are attending but if you are thinking of approaching the pub for a small 'do, I would say go for it. Highly recommended by us and a definite for a drink when I am down that way again. Thanks Tracey :-)

The Guinness is on point and as it was a football discussion meeting of 2 team members, I highly recommend this pub. Spacious and airy and good for keeping the 2 metre distance rule. There is a large screen so watching sports is possible whilst having a drink. You can have a glass of water with ice, which is nice to know!

Originally called the Buck's Head, the pub was rebuilt around 1898/1900 and was operated by Hoare's Brewery until 1933 when they were taken over by Charringtons. It was renamed in 1990 to the White Lion of Mortimer when it was taken over by Wetherspoons, who had the pub until 2018. I visited the pub on Sunday 26th July 2020. Of the three entrances two are now in use as a one-way system for covid. The entrance is now on the side of the pub opposite the Mitcham Islamic Centre. There is a hand-cleaning dispenser on your right as you go in and a table in front of you with the sign-in sheet for NHS Test and Trace. The corner entrance is not in use, and the exit is now the double doors at the south eastern part of the pub, which leads on to the streetside seating area. There is another outside seating area at the back, but that doesn't have access to the street. Seating space is limited, and used mainly by smokers. You order at the bar where striped tape is placed to show which parts of the bar not to use. There are signs asking you to not stand at the bar after buying drinks. Cards are accepted for payment as well as cash. The local history displays, a feature of Wetherspoons pubs, remain on the walls and there is an interesting mixture of local celebrities and old time photos. The carpet is also a Wetherspoon unique patterned one. Drinks prices are very reasonable. Photo is of the building in 2017 (when it was a Wetherspoons) which shows the entrance door.

It's a Wetherspoons. So great prices but heavy on the Brexit propaganda. Quite a spirited Halloween effort... it's not a faceless Wetherspoons and has a bit of character about it. Better than any other pub in central Mitcham. Those of you who know Central Mitcham, however, may realise that the competition is hardly intense.

Poor quality food. Previously frequented this cafe, but maybe it's under new management?? Chips ordered were decent but I wanted a toasted sandwich which came about 7 mins after my daughter's food. This was pale, dry and tastless. There was no spread in it and had hardly been toasted. It's a shame.
