Refurbished again in 2018 after a chequered history, and now (2022) part of a small pub chain that also includes the "Griffin Belle" in nearby Vauxhall, this Victorian street-corner local was previously known as the "Duchess of York."

 

The borough dates from the London Government Act of 1899, and includes the greater part of the original ecclesiastical parish of St. Mary Battersea. Under the same Act Penge, formerly a hamlet of Battersea, was constituted a separate urban district...the curious anomalies of local government led to Penge's formation as a separate urban district and its transfer to the county of Kent in 1900. This would join London with neighbouring parishes in 1965. Penge was a wooded district, over which the tenants of Battersea Manor had common of pasture.
