The Great Southern

5th February 2019 | Events, Pubs

There’s very little that gets us more excited than opening a brand new pub – except for restoring an old one to more than its former glory!

If you’re in or around Gipsy Hill you’ll probably have noticed that The Gipsy Hill Tavern has been closed for a while. There’s been some pretty serious work going on inside of late.

Coming this June we’re proud to announce that all this work will come to fruition and we can introduce you to (drumroll please) The Great Southern!

Taking its name from the historic steam railway and trains, just a few yards from the front door, we’ve set to creating a proper south London boozer fit for 2019!

Think an epic beer-lead bar offering a great variety of pints from keg and cask, an all-new cocktail list which will put a smile on the face of any mixologist, plus a huge renovated beer garden, ideal for lazy days and summer nights.

Excited? We are, and we’re not even open yet – just wait until we get to show you around!

You can check back here or follow us at @thegreatsouthernse19 to keep up with all the news, and we’ll be ready for you to come on down and share in what we’ve been up to from June – can’t wait to see you!
