Fentiman Arms

On the border of South Lambeth and Kennington, and within easy reach of The Oval cricket ground, this 19th century building has been impressively refurbished as a comfortable, popular, single-bar dining pub. Eclectic décor includes Penguin paperback covers in the rear ante-room. There is a terrace in front, and an enclosed, split-level patio and garden (heated in colder weather) at the rear with a Burger Shack and views over the adjacent, post-war estate. The upstairs dining room is available for functions; diners and drinkers are equally welcome downstairs. Quiz night Tuesday.
