By The Horns @ AFC Wimbledon (1 / 179) Taproom built under the stands at the new AFC Wimbledon stadium. Large functional space that is clearly designed with match day crowds in mind.

Red Hand (1 / 154) One of the Graceland bars and a personal favourite. In their inimitable house style there is minimal signage, just the name of the bar on the door. The usual excellent beer selection across 20 taps, now including the beers from their own Saint Monday brewery. Interior design is what you expect, subdued lighting and great music. Food is limited to […]
