Drink at the Bread and Roses

In your author's opinion, Clapham is an area with a real dearth of decent pubs, and that's what makes the Bread and Roses, on Clapham Manor Street, so welcome.


Run by Battersea and Wandsworth Trades Union council and the Workers Beer Company, and draws its name from a poem by James Oppenheim and a strike of female textile workers in Lawrence Massachusetts, USA in 1912.

With an excellent range of well-kept beers, and also live music and DJs at the weekend, quiz nights and even burlesque specials in the function room upstairs, you are unlikely to get bored, especially if you're a Guardianista who wants people to think you care about the workers without actually ever having to see one.
