    Not the best Burges I had in my life, but the portion was huge, and there were plenty of choices. The vibe of the place is unique. I definitely recommend checking.

    Pub has great vibe for couples and groups with indoor and outdoor seating, good music, good drink selection and a wide range of bar food offering beef or chicken for most types of burger. Ordered a chicken Lord Nelson burger which was large enough to intimidate me. However I suspect there may have been some accident in the kitchen since the burger was incredibly salty which sadly spoiled it for me. Luckily the draft Dortmunder beer was good compensation. Will return soon to try a different burger with hopefully better luck next time.

    If you are looking for a great big dirty burger in a fun and slightly chaotic pub then this is the place. The walls and ceiling are completely covered with posters and prints, everywhere you look there is something to look at. The burgers are HUGE! The menu is extensive with heaps of veggie and vegan options as well. The staff are friendly and there is a good range of beers on tap as well as fun Xmas flavoured shots. Great spot!

    Awesome burgers and a great friendly vibe. Victor was a great host, when he says be careful with the chilli sauce. Listen.

    I feel so lucky that we stayed just across from Lord Nelson during our stay in London. Very funky & vibrant place with a great atmosphere. So many interesting artworks and cool photos on the wall and there is a nice size outdoor area. Even during the week the place was buzzing 👍

    Interesting decor with lots of personality and charm. Food was great and the portion size was monumental, making it extremely good value. Good service. Bike locking posts directly outside. Good choice for plant based people.

    Popped in for a few jars after a meeting in Southwark, ended up staying most of the night! Always a sure sign of a great boozer. They have Murphys on tap too, haven't seen it in London for many years, proper pint. Buzzy atmosphere, great staff, and the food looked spot-on. I'll definitely be back whenever I'm in the area👍🏽

    Quirky and original pub in Southwark, London. Well worth the trip. The Nelson Burger was, without any exaggeration, one of the best things I've eaten in London. You can tell it's prepared with fresh ingredients. An amazing portion and so very tasty, all for a very reasonable price. The menu has a long list of different burgers with a variety of toppings. I certainly will be back several times to work my way through the other burgers! Staff were very friendly with a quick service. I believe it's quite busy on a weekend as it's so popular. Can't recommend this place enough!!

    We visited here as we were staying in the Travelodge opposite and I'm glad we did. It's a quirky spot with friendly staff. I had a hard time choosing which burger I wanted as there are so many options but went for the Deez Nuts burger. This burger has peanut butter, hash browns, pepperoni and mushrooms, served with chips and coleslaw and everything was delicious. Excellent value for money, especially for London and a really cool atmosphere.
