Live Sports — Pubs in Beckenham

George Inn

111 High Street, Beckenham BR3 1AG

The George Inn dates back over 350 years and was the last coaching inn on the route to London. The pub attracts a wide age range, although more of a younger crowd attend at weekends. The range of beers has increased in recent years, with 5 or 6 on offer most days. A reasonable choice of food is available and is of the pub grub style - burgers, pies, steak, fish and chips etc. Piped music plays on a 2 hour loop, but is generally not too intrusive. A TV shows BBC News channel (muted, with subtitles) and occasionally football/rugby, if on terrestrial TV.

White Horse

215 High Street, Beckenham BR3 1AH

A large and spacious pub, providing a retreat from the bustle of the High Street, and popular with a wide age-range. There are some enclosed booths for those seeking some privacy.

O'Neill's

9 High Street, Beckenham BR3 1AZ

The pub opened as a Charringtons pub named the "Golden Arrow" in the 1960's, complete with a railway signal erected on the pavement outside. A regional British Rail office was located above and behind the pub. The railway connection is now lost, and instead we have a spacious single bar O'Neills with the normal grey/green colour scheme, very convenient for bus, rail and tram travellers alike. Lots of tables and seating, including on the patio in front of the pub. Dogs not allowed inside but permitted on the outside patio. Real ale introduced in March 2014 with three handpumps, In 2018, real ale availability was sadly reduced to Sharp's Doom Bar only.

Coach & Horses

Burnhill Road, Beckenham BR3 3LA

A friendly and traditional local convenient for the High Street, now operated by Town Bar and Sports. The pub underwent a major refurbishment in 2020 as the Covid-19 crisis struck, and reopened in August when the work was completed, complete with new exterior signage. There is a large patio at the front with pub with several benches and tables, which have been renovated as part of the refurbishment. The exterior work is also evident in the rear, with a prominent mural of the London skyline on display in the back garden. Internally there are new light fittings, wooden floorings, and new tiling behind the bar. In short, not much has been left unchanged. Well worth a visit if you are in the vicinity of Beckenham High Street. All the photography on this page is after the 2020 refurbishment.
