Balham Bowls Club
Balham
Only a stone’s throw from Balham Station, situated just off the hustle and bustle of the 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 serves up a fresh, seasonal menu featuring everything from bar snacks, hearty pub classics to elevated Sunday roasts. Think melt-in-your-mouth pork belly, crispy duck fat potatoes, and a vegan roast that’s just as indulgent. Whether you’re here for a casual bite, a celebratory meal, or a pint with friends, our menu is crafted to delight. Pair your meal with a selection from our curated wine list, a refreshing craft beer, or a signature cocktail.
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.
