The pub first opened in the 1800s and at that time was frequented by joiners. Since the 1920s it has been an Irish pub. The pub is split into two bars, a smaller front bar area from a larger more modern room at the back which has a small stage for live music. The pub boasts an impressive range of spirits and an eye-catching tiled mural on the front bar wall being a panel bearing the arms of the Joiners’ & Ceilers’ Company, one of some 100 City livery companies. Its motto is "Join Truth With Trust". The kitchen is located behind the front bar in what was originally the glazed-in Publican's office. Quiz night Wednesday. Local resident Florence Welch's favourite pub (ES Magazine 13.07.18) and she has been known to gig here too.

Two star - A pub interior of very special national historic interest

Listed status: Not listed

Right in the busy centre of Camberwell, this pub, although much altered, is interesting for a couple of reasons. The first and most spectacular is the tiling on the wall of the front bar with the large tiled panel bearing the arms of the Joiners’ & Ceilers’ Company, one of some 100 City livery companies. In the outer corners of this panel are implements of the joiners’ trade. The tilework has sadly suffered minor damage where a dartboard has been hung against it some time in the past. The tilework looks like the work of about 1900 but the extensive wooden fittings may be later, perhaps even of the 1920s. There is a counter to both front and back rooms of the pub, which are divided by a timber and glass screen. The counter front itself is quite plain with upright tongue-and-grooved boarding and simply detailed pilasters between the bays. At the back of the servery is a glazed-in Publican's Office area currently being used to prepare and cook pizzas.
