Know London

The Jolly Gardeners in Lambeth has a history as a pub for 120 years. It has had more than its fair brush with the silverscreen for an unassuming local boozer!

The pub was transformed into The Drowning Trout in Guy Ritchie’s acclaimed gangster Britflick; Snatch (2000). The pub sets the scene for where Bullet Tooth Tony (Vinnie Jones) orders a Guinness after a bad car crash, only to be confronted by Sol and co as 3 masked men at gunpoint. The pub is also featured in Brit mockementary comedy; The Calcium Kid (2004).

In addition, Charlie Chaplin was one of the pub’s the famous locals; it is said that his father would frequently play on the pub’s piano to entertain the local community.
