Having been situated here on Lant Street since the nineteenth century (with a rebuild in the ’20s), "The Glad" is named after four-time former prime minister William Gladstone and even gets a mention in ‘The Pickwick Papers’ as Charles Dickens once lived on the same road.
The intimate family-run pub (run by siblings Meg & G), located just a stone's throw away from Borough tube station is a dominant live music spot and the best of it's kind near London Bridge! You can expect gigs every Tuesday and Sunday from genres of folk, blues, pop to electronica. We also run comedy and open mic nights! The pub boasts an intimate beer garden/roof terrace and an upstairs lounge area that can be used for private hire!
The Glad is also featured in CAMRA's book on desi pubs (written by David Jesudason) - it is one of the very few pubs in London to serve Indian food. You're sure to be welcomed with a smile by Indian landlords Meg & G! The food menu consists of popular Indian fusion dishes such as the chicken tikka masala pie & Sunday roast of railway lamb chops & butter chicken supreme!
The Glad is Borough's very own little secret where you can expect a friendly atmosphere, intimate live music, great food and a sense of community.
