🚇 Parsons Green
🍺 £6.60 Pravha
The Duke on the Green is located on the southern edge of Parsons Green in southwest London. The nearest Tube is Parsons Green on the District Line.
This stunning Grade II listed pub was built in 1892 and was originally named the Duke of Cumberland in honor of Ernest Augustus, son of George III. The exterior is quite magnificent with granite columns, leaded arched windows and glazed brown tiles.
This stylish, one-bar, two-room pub blends classic Victorian charm with contemporary touches. The main bar area is located at the front, with the servery on the right-hand side, featuring ornate woodwork detailing. The bar is generously sized and offers plenty of mixed seating, an impressive period fireplace, hardwood floors, Corinthian columns, and a wall of stunning decorative Victorian tiles. The room behind the main bar is set aside for dining and features comfortable mix-and-match seating and colourful contemporary decor.
This Young’s pub offers a selection of popular, well-known beers, plus some independent brews and two cask ales. I went with a Pravha—my pint hit the spot, price point was above average. The food menu features seasonal British classics, including Sunday roasts. For comparison, fish and chips costs £18.50.
I arrived at 11:30 a.m. on a warm and sunny Saturday morning in May. The pub had only just opened and already had a few punters both inside and out. The atmosphere was calm and relaxed, making it easy to settle in. The service was excellent—the team on duty were welcoming, friendly, and personable. I took a seat at one of the tables near the tiled wall and took in my surroundings while listening to an excellent soundtrack that included Joe Jackson’s Steppin’ Out.
This was my second visit in recent months—the first during the Six Nations, when the pub was packed. This time was more relaxed, but I thoroughly enjoyed both experiences. It’s a classy pub with heritage tiling, a vibrant bar, quality beers, and classic seasonal cuisine. A must-visit London pub.

Great atmosphere at Duke on the Green! The pub has a warm and lively vibe, perfect for a casual meal or drinks with friends.
