Quirky pub on Lewisham high street. The pub was recently refurbished and they found an old sign which read "Suttons' Radio" which they decided was a great name! Inside you'll find lots of retro radios as well as old maps of the local area. There is a pub quiz on Sunday evenings and live music on the last Friday of the month.

Whilst you're there, you can also visit the Observatory, the Royal Naval College and the National Maritime Museum.
