A recent press review: "With 17 draught beers and 50 bottled beers from all over the world, the second Draft House – the first is on Northcote Road in Clapham - is a truly extraordinary experience for anyone with even a fleeting interest in ale.

There are several options for travel: you can bring your car and drive from tower to tower; or drive to Wandsworth, leave it there, and return there at the end of the day to collect it, going from tower to tower by public transport or on foot; or you can leave your car at home and come up to London by train. (NB Senior bus passes are valid on London local buses.) |
