Say hello to Ned, who set up @sproutldn last March Say hello to Ned, who set up @sproutldn last March during lockdown, situated down the road from us. On his stall you can find a variety of delicious and seasonal fruit, veg and herbs. With his leftovers from his Saturday stall, he turns up with a big bag of goodies for us here at the pub, which we then will turn into a few specials for the weekend. He happily accepts payment in beer from us, which is ideal us being a pub and all.

More from the great @thelostpintproject on the his More from the great @thelostpintproject on the history of the beautiful Jolly Gardeners "Change dominated Lambeth Walk with a brutalist facelift, the big-name china manufacturers based here falling into decline. How would The Jolly Gardeners survive? Simple: Through a very merry rebranding. The Jolly Cockney jigged its way through the 70s and 80s, a Pearly King swilling his tankard from one side of the signage and twirling his Pearly Queen on the other. Pouring Wethered Bitter, Winter Royal, and Flowers Original alongside seasonal brews from owners Whitbread, this massive wet-led boozer was popular for trad games and live music. Glasswork from the era can still be spotted in some of the window frames. Then, in the mid-90s, came simultaneous growth and dispersement of the Bedfordshire-based hospitality giant, the pub reverting to its longterm moniker. Snatched up by Fox Taverns, the hulking beast chugged on with its ale-sodden carpets, tobacco-stained net curtains and weekend karaoke. A weather-beaten advert, still high on the pub’s brow, dates to this period; noting ROOMS TO LET, 2 POOL TABLES and JUKEBOX, it recently emerged from beneath a thin layer of cheap paint. A glimpse into the pub’s look and feel can be enjoyed in macho-geezer-fest Snatch; The Jolly Gardeners plays The Drowning Trout, a metal-mouthed Vinnie Jones getting tense with South London lads Lennie James and Robbie Gee. Gunfire and fist-fights ensue" PT 2/3

From our friend @thelostpintproject who has found From our friend @thelostpintproject who has found some amazing backstory on the pub! "The Jolly Gardeners has (or should that be ‘have’?) guarded this corner glaring out onto Lambeth Walk since 1750. It’s been a cab stop for horse-drawn Hackney Coaches, it’s faced bankruptcy on more than one occasion, and has even been the site of an insurrection. Well, pre-drinks ahead of an insurrection. That’s right, it was here on Sunday the 12th of May 1833 that the chairman of the Lambeth section of the National Union of the Working Classes took to his feet before a braying crowd – baring daggers, coshes, pikes and heady dreams of overthrowing a government who had banned protest – to give a rousing speech. “Friends, the time has come, the hour has struck. You are the workers, the producers of the taxes, not the squanderers. We do not give a fig for the Tories!” he raised his pot of beer to the room. “Down with hereditary aristocracy and up with the aristocracy of the working classes!” Anyway, a spy reported back to his superiors at Scotland Yard and soon the revolution was quashed, the police accused of being “ferocious, brutal and unprovoked by the people.” The world rolls along in strange cycles, doesn’t it? The first iteration of this early gin palace was a large single room, with no tap room or parlour, simply a bar. Rebuilt with extravagant vigour in 1895 by popular architect R.A. Lewcock (of Black Lion, Kilburn fame), only two relatively jolly gardeners now graced the twin friezes. The number Three had been dropped from the pub’s moniker some years earlier, with anecdotal references in court records proving it had long since departed casual discourse. Not long after the grand reopening, a young Charlie Chaplin began giving performances on the boozer’s piano – the antique instrument still found in the pub to this day (allegedly) – whilst hanging around his uncle Spencer’s pub, The Queen’s Head, a few doors up. But change (and the Luftwaffe) soon hit Lambeth Walk, its remains replaced by modern flats; The Jolly Gardeners, now under Whitbread, had to adapt, and fast…" PT 1/3
