Lord Clyde
The superb glazed tile exterior of the Lord Clyde in Southwark is a joy to behold. The name and trade mark of the brewers Truman, Hanbury, Buxton & Co Ltd. is proudly displayed but the company was absorbed into Grand Metropolitan empire in 1971 and then merged with Watney Mann. This proved to be disastrous for the brewery which closed in 1989. In 2010 the Truman brand was purchased by two London businessmen and in 2013 they opened a new brewery in Hackney Wick allowing Truman's beer to be stocked in a number of London pubs once again.
