Balham Bowls Club
Balham
Only a stone’s throw from Balham Station, situated just off the hustle and bustle of Balham High Road, Balham Bowls Club is a delightfully nostalgic social club and restaurant. If you’re looking for good time with loved ones, friends, family, neighbours, pull up a chair and enjoy a meal cooked by our lovely head chef or prop up the bar and have a gander at the Bowls Club memorabilia from days gone by.

South London's favourite gastropub
Our kitchen offers a snacking bar menu throughout the pub and sit-down dining menu, serving a fresh seasonal menu. Sundays are a family and friends affair, with an elevated take on the English Sunday roast classic – expect melt-in-your-mouth pork belly, duck fat potatoes, as well as a cracking vegan option roast.
A hidden Fitzrovia favourite — if you know, you know.
Slip upstairs and discover our secret cocktail bar — a plush, low-lit escape from the bustle of central London. Think velvet booths, curated playlists, and bartenders who know their craft inside and out.
Our menu blends timeless classics with modern twists, featuring favourites like the French Martini, Smoked Old Fashioned, and seasonal house creations that surprise and delight. Whether you’re after something bold, bright, or beautifully balanced, our team will pour you the perfect drink — every time.
Ideal for dates, discreet meetups, or letting the evening unfold into something special.
