The Marquis of Lorne

Head down Dalyell Road and you'll find the kind of pub that's become increasingly rare in South London—no craft beer nonsense, no Instagram angles, just honest drinking. The Marquis of Lorne feels like it belongs to Brixton rather than to some corporate chain, with regulars who've probably been propping up the same stretch of bar for years. It's the type of place where you can nurse a proper pint, grab decent pub grub, and actually hear your mate without shouting over terrible playlist choices.
