But will it serve pints <a href="https://shop.labour.org.uk/products/jeremy-corbyn-straight-talking-honest-politics-pint-glass-680/">in these</a> in honour of our scruffy suited, tie undone, national anthem-dodging MP?<div><br></div><div><br></div>

<p>Ossultone hundreds</p><p> </p><p>Intreresting to see the Tollington name was in the record in 1086 and that the Ossultone hundreds were valued at 219 3/4 hides in 1086</p>

WHAT BEER

south_to_north · February 2016

Seconded! What beer???

south_to_north · February 2016

Also does anyone else think that ossultone arms would have been a good name for the pub?

krappyrubsnif · February 2016

Yes, never heard of Ossultone before, high time it made a comeback.

ADGS · February 2016

Annie - parts of the Borough of Croydon are SE19 (which I know because I'm moving to one)...

Papa · February 2016

Croydon's a bit like Barnet isn't it, manages to be both in London and somewhere completely different.<div><br></div><div>I've never heard of Ossultone before but it's a great name - is it too late to get the new White Lion to change its name?</div>

Croydon is a town that has become absorbed by greater London. It's close enough and connected enough to feel more London than Surrey, but there's a big difference between zone 2 and zone 5 no doubt. Regarding the postcode thing, croydon is as much London as wimbledon - sw19.

Why don't pubs have bars or areas with different names, eg Ossultone Bar, or for that matter Arsenal Bar, Corbyn Room?

Papa · February 2016

Wimbledon's in northern France isn't it?

Looks a bit Dalston to me, or is that not the finished article?

NorthNineteen · February 2016

I can't quite get my bearings for where this is taken, but it's looking pretty nice<br>

dorothy · February 2016

It does look smart, bit like what the Kings Head has become in Crouch End. <div><br></div><div>Good beer is all very well, but a lot of wine in Stroud Green is filthy stuff. I hope someone buys the Nicolas Nickleby soon. I don't even care about the carpet and manky sofas, as long as they fill it full of decent wine.</div><div><br></div><div>The Concept shop opposite the Dairy, could be a good wine shop. It's days must be numbered. </div>

Looking pretty complete this evening, has beer labels on the taps now - could see an IPA (cask), Heinken and Symonds Cider. Its looking good.

kittygal · February 2016

It's a big pub, would be nice if there was some live music.

south_to_north · March 2016

@kittygal There's already quite a lot of live music in the area... Would be nice if they did music that's a cut above the rest though (but difficult to do for free admittedly)

krappyrubsnif · March 2016

Cleaning the windows today......

NorthNineteen · March 2016

Open from 6pm Thursday, taking reservations for food (50%).<br><br>I'm looking forward to trying it.<br>

NorthNineteen · March 2016

https://twitter.com/thewhitelionn4<br><br>Has more details<br>

Arkady · March 2016

I'll be there with bells on.<div><br></div><div>Not actual bells.</div>

NorthNineteen · March 2016

See you there!<br>

NorthNineteen · March 2016

Appears the White Lion will only be serving beers by the Heineken familly, still at least it is different to the Greene King drinks.<br>

ADGS · March 2016

Looks damn near finished tonight, was half expecting them to be doing a soft opening earlier.

NorthNineteen · March 2016

There were people in the drinking when I went past - must be staff?

vetski · March 2016

There's a fair amount of craft cider around now, I hope there's more on offer than just Symonds!<div><br></div><div>Quite tempted to go on Thu - anyone seen a menu? Nothing on Twitter, just checked.</div>

Arkady · March 2016

I sent an email to book a table, but no reply. Has anyone else succeeded in making a booking, and how?<div><br></div><div>Edit: I see there are two email addresses floating around. One is <span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: arial, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-size: 10pt;">contact@whitelionn4.com (no reply on that one) and the other is </span><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: arial, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-size: 10pt;">contact@thewhitelion.com. Anyone heard back on that one?</span></div>

Howdy, Stranger!
