Despite hanging around Clapham Junction quite frequently I did not know about The Four Thieves until my boyfriend invited me there for our first date! I have to admit it was quite a smart move from his side!
At the ground level, The Four Thieves looks just like what you’d expect from a good pub - a quirky interior, cosy seating areas, and a great selection of drinks and food of course! If you go upstairs though you’ll discover a Victorian-style Music Hall which has been converted into a huge games area with retro arcades, race games, and a VR room.
And the surprises don’t stop here - down in the basement there’s a karaoke room if you want to unleash your inner musician! On Wednesdays, there’s a comedy night and if that’s not enough they often hold quiz and bingo nights. So whatever floats your boat there’s a chance The Four Thieves will cater for it!
I can see now why my boyfriend picked it as a first date spot! Thankfully he only took me to the games room and not the karaoke as we probably wouldn't be together if he'd done so!

Blink and you’ll miss it. This private little Loughborough Junction spot is well hidden, down a single-file alley off the otherwise unremarkable Hinton Rd.

The Phoenix Garden is remarkably inconspicuous: a bombsite turned car park turned community garden hidden behind high hedges and wrought iron railings.
