Grand Union - Kennington in Lambeth

2 for 1 cocktails till 7pm everyday and all day Sunday - food is nice and it has a lovely roof terrace with views of imperial war garden

Really lovely rooftop terrace! Great place for a drink in lovely weather! Also been here after dark and was really pretty and romantic! Have yet to try a cocktail here but definitely on my to do list as they look amazing!

Bar was recently renovated under new ownership. Absolute fantastic selection of craft beer at reasonable price points. Food has a limited selection but all are exceptionally well prepared. Also offers Sunday Roast.

It's not the Grand Union any more. It's reverted to its original name - The Tankard - and is part of the Draft House chain. I went for lunch this week, it was pretty standard but decent pub food, and the range of beers is excellent, including a pint of Bristol Beer Factory Nova on cask for £2.70.

As others have said, now changed owners. Very quick service, I had an excellent chicken schnitzel, and the view from the rooftop is magnificent. Reasonable selection of beers.

Always have such a great time here - the staff are always friendly and accommodating. I've had birthday drinks and recently booked the terrace and upstairs bar for a party the day after our wedding.The kind of place you can relax and chill out - lots of food and drink options and not expensive.

Great venue, shame about the staff. They were horrible to us, refused to open the bar upstairs claiming that we failed to notify them about the party of 70 that was expected to arrive. When we told them this is BS and that we did say that when making the booking, they said that's not what we paid for (because £750 booking fee is not enough!!). Then they decided that it wasn't too busy (although there was still fifty of us at the room upstairs) and that they would close at 12:30 instead of 1:30 that is clearly stated on their website (on a Saturday night!). Avoid at all costs.

Great pub with a fantastic beer garden roof terrace thing. Very cool to chill after a visit to the IWM or after chilling in the park. Food was ok, burgers were a bit on the small side but everything else was great.

A real gem of a pub, right next to the Imperial War Museum. The decor might make you feel like you are visiting an eccentric uncle, but that's all part of Grand Union's charm. On warm summer days, there are few better places to be that up on their rooftop terrace. Undoubtedly one of the best pubs south of the river.

I tried the Grand Union today. I found service on the ground floor bar very slow, inattentive and disorganised despite having quite a few members of staff on in the bar.Food was warm, but could have been hotter.The overall atmosphere was quite relaxing and comfortable away from the bar area. It was quite cool as there where other groups coming in and out of the bar to the outdoor seating.I think if your going to enjoy this venue you need to dressed warmly and allow time for slow service. Otherwise it could be a great venue.
