ABOUT US
Established in 1984 by the O'Neill family, The Pineapple remains a family-owned, family-run pub to this day serving only traditional Guinness from Ireland! If you fancy taking a break from busy London life, then why not visit our friendly pub just south of the River Thames!
Origins
Henry Finch laid the pub's foundation stone on 17th May 1870. The pub's current name, The Pineapple, probably honours the memory of Royal Gardeners John Tradescant (c. 1570-1638) and his son, John (1608-1662), who are believed to be the first to have cultivated pineapples in England. At his death, the younger Jon's widow commissioned a magnificent tomb in the churchyard of St. Mary's, Lambeth, carved with scenes of their life and work, and which can still be seen next to Lambeth Palace!
Today, The Pineapple features dark wood interiors and open fireplaces in a traditional setting maintaining the true essence of a Public House.
