Powder Keg Diplomacy pre 2021

Above photo pre 2021, when still known as the "Power Keg Diplomacy."

 

Formerly "Powder Keg Diplomacy."

A gastropub, in colonial style until September 2017 but, following a change of ownership, its name then lost its Diplomacy.

I believe it was renamed "St John's Tavern" in 2021.

 

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.
