The Waverley Arms is a beloved community pub that has been serving the people of Nunhead for over a century. Located in a charming red brick Victorian building, its elegant deep blue facade and leaded windows exude a timeless charm. The lush greenery surrounding the pub adds to its unique character, creating a tranquil and authentic setting for any occasion. With street parking conveniently available next to the establishment, guests can easily arrive and enjoy their time at the pub.

Step inside and you'll find three distinct spaces that cater to various events and gatherings. The Main Dining Area, with its expansive wooden bar as the centrepiece, is the heart of our pub. The combination of dark hardwood flooring, light green walls adorned with sconces, mirrors, and photographs, and a charming wooden fireplace creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. Large windows allow ample natural light to flood the space, while the differently designed ceiling lights add an industrial and artsy vibe.

For those seeking a more intimate setting, our Backroom is the perfect choice. This spacious yet cosy private space features dark hardwood flooring and light blue walls adorned with mirrors, photographs, and string lights. The large skylight and windows fill the room with natural light, creating a bright and airy ambience. Comfortable chairs and wall benches provide ample seating, while green plants add a touch of nature.

And if you prefer to enjoy the outdoors, our lovely Garden offers a charming setting. With stone flooring, brick walls adorned with green plants and sconces, and a private entrance separated from the street by an elegant black metal fence, it's the ideal spot for any occasion. Plus, wall-mounted heaters ensure a cosy atmosphere even on chilly nights.
