There's so much going on around Putney whatever you're into, whether it's celeb spotting in Richmond Park, marvelling at the beauty of Fulham Palace or of course enjoying the boat racing. But all of these activities make for thirsty work so you're going to want a place to relax and have a tipple in South-West London's leafy suburb. For perfect pints, wholesome Sunday roasts and gorgeous beer gardens let this list guide you through some of the best recommended pubs in Putney.




Golden Lion Fulham

If you're on the hunt for cosy and quaint pubs in London, head to Golden Lion Fulham. Not only does the venue have a beaut beer garden to boot, but it also fronts a mouthwatering menu and delicious boozy bevvies. We suggest pairing a watermelon sour with a chicken fillet burger.

The Coat and Badge

Move away from the madding crowds of the High Street and into the much-more serene world of the Coat & Badge, on Lacy Road. A homely, cosy favourite that features a warm and welcoming atmosphere inside as well as one of the best beer gardens in south-west London outside, this place is great regardless of whether you're coming for a chilled brunch, a few drinks in the sunshine or catching the sport on the big screen.

The Spencer Arms

The Spencer Arms is found on Lower Richmond Road, a stylish yet traditional boozer filled with rustic-looking fireplaces, Chesterfield sofas and pops of colour for a laid-back yet cool feel. Tuck into a range of British favourites made with local produce, as well as local real ales or craft beers and ciders.

The Green Man

Despite having been a favourite for London's Highwaymen in centuries gone by, the Green Man in Putney Heath is now a warm, welcoming venue in South London. The pub serves a range of hearty gastro pub food, including British steaks grilled to perfection, light fish and chip and traditional roast dinners on Sunday. With the bar stocked full of delicious craft beer and flavoursome real ales, it's the idea place for a few after work drinks or a lazy Winter weekend by the fire.

The Duke's Head Putney

If you're serious about your curbing hunger you'll want to head down to The Duke's Head pub in Putney. They don't mess around when it comes to hearty and delicious dinners such as Chef's Choice Mussels or the Venison Pot Pie. Set in a Grade II listed Victorian building The Duke's Head is the perfect gastro pub to relax in with drinks or better still catch the boat racing while tucking into a sublime Sunday roast. 

Arab Boy

With its worldly art and stylish leather seating, The Arab Boy is perfect for a casual, cosy pint or a lavish dinner for a special occasion. As well as all the ales, lagers, cider, wines and spirits you'd expect, the menu packs in plenty of pub grub classics.

You can tuck into beer battered fish and chips, sea bream, souvlaki, salt and pepper squid, and plenty more besides. If the weather's playing ball, the sun trap terrace is the place to bag a seat.
