Now Open

2019 saw Catford's Black Horse & Harrow get a shiny makeover courtesy of the Laines Pub team. Now known as Ninth Life, the South East London boozer is now a community hub with a distinct festival feel.

The food offering here is a mixed feast of small plates, burgers and plenty of vegan and veggie grub. Outside in their sprawling courtyard, you'll also find street food pop-ups serving some of the finest eats around.

Taking inspiration from public art and wall murals from Bournemouth to San Francisco, the interiors have more than a touch of the fantastical about them, with wall designs ranging from Alice in Wonderland-inspired to quirky doodles. 

Where the venue really sets itself apart though is with its eclectic events schedule. From jazz jams. craft markets and crowd-sourced exhibitions to a huge immersive adventure that will have you roaming through nine rooms of curious characters and bizarre happenings.
