This Wetherspoon public house was built in 1868 and it was christened the Brockley Barge in 2000, when it became a Wetherspoons. The apt name of this pub recalls the barges which plied their trade on the Croydon Canal.

The scope of works included all newly painted external walls, windows, doors, and a completely new signage pack.
The brief was to create the feeling of a traditional London pub, to achieve this we added in a deep green, crackle glazed metro tile under each window and framed them with a new polished brass shelf above.
Traditional typography was used for the signage throughout and a large brass lantern above the main entrance to welcome guests in. The overall affect of the dark painted lower sections of the pub gives the pub even more presence on its already prominent corner plot.
