Formerly "Settle Inn," and "Rising Sun."

Closed in February 2014 following grant of certificate of lawfulness by Wandsworth Council for conversion of cellar and bar areas to retail use within permitted development rights. A once lively gastropub though sadly missing its interior tiled panels since refurbishment c2008.

 

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.
