The Sultan
“Matches your preference for quiet, immersive environments. This venue's atmosphere aligns with your saved favorites.”
About the Vibe
The Sultan is the real deal—a no-frills, beer-first pub that locals have championed for years. As London’s only Hop Back pub, you’ll find their signature Summer Lightning and Entire Stout on tap here, which alone makes it a pilgrimage spot for craft beer fans. It’s a 1950s roadhouse with a split layout: the larger saloon with radio music and the quieter public bar for serious sipping. Skip it if you’re hunting for a full meal, but come for the friendly, unpretentious vibe and the chance to taste some of London’s best real ale.

London’s Only Hop Back Pub: A Local’s Beer Haven
The Sultan is exactly what a local pub should be: unpretentious, beer-focused, and deeply rooted in its community. As the only Hop Back pub in London, it’s a must-stop for anyone chasing their favorite ales like Summer Lightning or Entire Stout on tap. The 1950s roadhouse split into two rooms—a lively saloon with radio music and a quieter public bar—means you can choose your own pace. It’s not a foodie destination; you’ll mostly find crisps and pork scratchings, but that’s part of the charm. This is a place where locals gather, CAMRA awards roll in, and the atmosphere stays calm and friendly.

Le Sultan, c’est l’essence même d’un pub de quartier : simple, centré sur la bière et ancré dans sa communauté. Seul pub Hop Back à Londres, c’est l’adresse incontournable pour déguster leurs bières signature comme la Summer Lightning ou l’Entire Stout en pression. L’édifice des années 50 est divisé en deux salles : un grand salon animé avec la radio et un bar public plus calme, selon votre humeur. Oubliez la cuisine élaborée — ici, on trouve surtout des chips et des croquettes de porc, mais c’est toute la magie du lieu. Un endroit où les locaux se retrouvent, où les récompenses CAMRA s’accumulent et où l’ambiance reste chaleureuse et détendue.
