New featured article — King's Head, Tooting, SW17

[ewan]

This week we're going to Tooting, so why not visit the site of our featured article, the King's Head, SW17 7PB, a grand Victorian pub building which, thankfully, has a pub in it. I've never heard of a swag-curtain before, so why not add it to your vocab?

Our three additions are in the same vicinity: there's The Wheatsheaf pub, large pleasant and child-friendly; Namak Mandi restaurant, which does good Pashtun, Peshwari and Afghan food and which has a naan so large it needs its own stand; and Masaledar, an Indian restaurant, where the food isn't as spicy as you'd hope. Unless you don't like spice.

There are also updates in, surprise surprise, Tooting! There's The Castle, a Young's pub, bit bland nowadays, and the Tooting Tram and Social, no food and also a bit more bar/venue-like.
