Formerly "Battersea Mess" and "Music Hall."

Cavernous, back-street brewpub reopened in 2014 by the Laine Pub Company after major refurbishment and installation of a brewery. The pub is made up of a main bar, split over two levels, the Boat House, which hosts much of the entertainment, and a 'gin yard' (complete with a lavender roof). Above is a games room. Previously "Battersea Mess" & "Music Hall" under Antic, before that "Walkabout," "Rise," "Bar Risa," "Cornet" and originally "Cornet of Horse." Also formerly "Jongleurs" comedy venue.

The pub ceased brewing late in 2019 and the brewing equipment has now been removed.

 

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.
