The pub has thankfully been left largely untouched by the waves of modernisation that have afflicted other pubs, and it is known for its many mirrors - particularly in the snug bar - which were apparently constructed by W. Gibbs & Sons glass decorators of Blackfriars.
Today, the pub serves decent looking pizzas and hosts gigs and comedy nights in a larger room at the back. For more information, see http://www.halfmoonpub.co.uk/
Your photo reminds me very much of The Falcon which was built in Clapham Junction in 1887. Similar construction date, architecture, colours and preserved original fittings!

Your blog is a miracle, Tom! It's unfailingly interesting and in that truly reflects London. Who would want to live or be anywhere else? Keep it coming, thank you.
