Perched on the edge of Wandsworth Common, The Althorp has been thoughtfully restored to honour its heritage while embracing contemporary design. Rich dark timber, exposed brickwork and deep leather seating are layered with eclectic detailing to create an atmosphere that feels both stylish and welcoming — the perfect backdrop for everything from casual catch-ups to memorable evenings.
The refurbishment of The Althorp on Wandsworth Common is a celebration of history, craftsmanship, and community. Respecting the building’s heritage, the design reintroduces traditional character while refining the space for today’s guest. Richly stained and polished timbers create a sense of warmth and permanence, complemented by deep-filled leather seating that invites comfort and lingering conversation. Classic materials such as anaglypta ceiling paper add textural interest and an authentic period feel, tying the interiors back to their historic roots.
Bespoke light fittings cast a gentle glow across the space, while handwritten signwriting reinforces the individuality and personal character of a true local pub. At the heart of the update is the introduction of a new bar in the rear trade area, designed to serve both as a lively social hub and as a versatile space for private bookings. This addition enhances the flexibility of the pub without losing sight of its community-driven spirit.
The result is a welcoming, atmospheric destination that balances heritage with modern comfort — a place where regulars feel at home and new visitors are drawn to its inviting, timeless charm.
