This is such a lovely welcoming child-friendly pub. Amber and Chris are amazing people and can’t do enough for their customers. A visit to the Charlotte Despard has become an essential part of our Saturday routine now!

This was my local back in the day and even though we now live miles away I still make a regular pilgrimage to visit. Chris and Amber (and sometimes Legz) are among the kindest people I’ve ever met, playing an active role in bringing and keeping the local community together. I’ve rarely felt more safe and welcome than I do in their pub. Long may it last 🍻

Being new to London some years ago, I walked around to a lovely little pub on the corner, perhaps attracted to it because of the name! I sat in there with a drink and a book and started talking to the locals and the landlady Amber. Everyone made me feel incredibly welcome and I met the most intelligent and brilliant characters in there, overtime. A community I didnt know I needed during a time that I knew not a single soul in a big new city. Unbelievable food, really awesome people and a safe and welcoming environment. Highly recommend ❤️
