I visited the Capitol Pub in Forest Hill last week. A large pub created within an old cinema. The cinema opened its doors to the public in 1929 and later became a bingo hall before converting to a Wetherspoon’s pub. I found it worth a visit for the interesting interior, the great beers on offer and the value for money. It was good to see beers on sale from a brewery that is local and not one of the big names. I had two beers from this brewery, the Southwark Brewing Company, and they were both excellent. I started with Southwark’s Bankside Blonde and finished with their Bermondsey Best. With a CAMRA discount the price came to under half of the price of a pint in most pubs in the London suberbs.
I highly recommend a visit to this pub. Website:http://www.jdwetherspoon.co.uk/home/pubs/the-capitol-forest-hill
