The New Inn Ham Common

You're walking past Richmond Park's edges onto Ham Common and stumble into the sort of pub that makes you wonder why you don't come to this corner of Southwest London more often. The New Inn sits right on Petersham Road with genuine local energy—the kind of place where regulars have their spots and newcomers feel welcomed straightaway. It's doing proper pub food without getting precious about it, and the real ale selection is taken seriously by people who actually care about their pints.
