Operator: Laine Pub Company
193 Crystal Palace Road, East Dulwich, SE22 9EP (View on Google Map)

Victorian pub, formerly the Crystal Palace Tavern. Ex-Allied, then Punch, until it was renamed when taken over in 2012 by the Inn Brighton pub company (from 2014 renamed to the Laine Pub Company). Whilst the historic two-bar layout no longer exists, the current incarnation does however create an excellent contemporary pub, which is very popular with the locals. Some period features do remain, particularly the side porch. Usually has 3 changing real ales in addition to the regular Laine's Best.

One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest

Listed status: Not listed

Built c1880, whilst opened-up (four doors indicate it may have had four room) it still retains quality fittings from a late Victorian refitting. The bare boarded room retains a Victorian panelled bar counter – note the two sizes of panels indicating where a partition was situated originally. The three-bay Victorian bar back has a middle section with a curved mirror, left-hand and right-hand ones having etched panels and all feature birds and flowers; also, four pilasters with capitals. There is an elaborate doorway to the left of the servery with two columns with capitals – all picked out in gold paint – and with a broken pediment. On the right hand side is a vestibule entrance with curved projections having carved woodwork and etched glass panels. Ornate wooden cornice above two doors with narrow mirrored panels below.
