The Florence in Brixton

We’ve been to the Florence a few times for a Sunday roast now and each time the menu seems to be a little bit different, but the food is always amazing. The veggie roast in particular is great. Service and atmosphere is always amazing too - would highly recommend!

I had a fantastic time at The Florence! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, perfect for a great night out. The burger I had was absolutely delicious—juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The staff was friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even better. Thank you Nico! Highly recommended!

We held a memorial dinner for around 15 friends on Friday 28th March 2025. The manager and team couldn’t have been more helpful. Despite seeming a little short-staffed, they remained calm, kind and attentive throughout the evening. Really grateful—thank you!

Food came out fast, casual professional service. Food was hot and fresh. Double cheeseburger is the answer to scratch the Big Mac itch. Instead of eating mickie D’s have one of these, the thousand island.. I mean special sauce is spot on. The burger was a little unstable, I can forgive the unstable foundation since the ingredients were deliciously fresh and well seasoned. Puddings were better than expected, lemon polenta cake and sticky toffee pudding are worth the add on.

🚇 Herne Hill 🍺 £6.50 Paulaner The Florence is located opposite Brockwell Park in the leafy South London suburb of Herne Hill. The nearest station is Herne Hill mainline. This beautifully tiled pub was originally called The Railway Tavern, built in 1871. The name changed to The Brockwell Park Tavern in the 1890’s following the opening of Brockwell Park in 1892. It was renamed the Brockwell Park Hotel in the 1970’s, following a short period as Ganley’s Irish Bar, it became the Florence in 2007. This is a spacious and airy pub that is traditionally decorated with a contemporary feel. At the heart of the pub is an island severy with a modern back bar. The main bar area has plenty of seating both high and low plus interesting features like the wall clock, marble fireplace and leaded stained windows. Just off the main bar is a stylish dining area with an open kitchen. At the back of the pub is a patio beer garden, at the front of the pub our a few tables and chairs to watch the world go by. The beer selection is good and offers a choice of premium beers, London brews and cask ales. I decided on a Paulaner which is a favourite of mine, my pint was excellent, price point was above average. There is a classic pub grub menu available, Fish & Chips costs £18, Roasts take centre stage on a Sunday. I arrived just after 12pm on a warm Saturday lunchtime in September. The pub had just opened, so there wasn’t many punters in except a few in the beer garden. The atmosphere was calm with soulful tunes playing in the background. The service was great, there were a few team members beavering away preparing the pub all were friendly and welcoming. There is plenty on to keep you entertained with a Quiz on a Wednesday, DJ’s Friday and Saturday and Jazz on a Sunday. Visiting @theflorencepub was an enjoyable experience. I loved the Victorian glazed tiles that clad the exterior, the decor made for a pleasant environment to spend time in, the beer choice is good and the team are friendly. This pub is a good allrounder, definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area. 📅 21st September 2024 More London Pub info @londonpubmap 🍻
