About Priory Arms
An independent free house on Lansdowne Way, renowned among real-ale enthusiasts for a constantly rotating range of cask beers, Belgian and German bottles and ciders, and its own small beer festival.
The Priory Arms is a proper backstreet find, a free house on a quiet Stockwell residential road that has built a serious reputation among real-ale drinkers for the sheer breadth and turnover of what's on the bar: a rotating cask range alongside imported Belgian and German bottles and a strong cider list, with walls papered in decades of pump clips documenting beers long since retired. It runs its own small Priory Arms beer festival and functions as exactly the kind of unpretentious, beer-first community local that CAMRA members seek out and everyone else stumbles on by luck.
