Many outside London don't realise that you need a beer passport when drinking in London beyond your postcode area - though some people seemingly get away without ever getting one.
The example here is stamped for the Falcon and also for the Four Thieves, both in Batersea, SW11.

Battersea Power Station is a decommissioned Grade II* (Since 2007) listed coal-fired power station, located on the south bank of the River Thames, in Nine Elms, Battersea, in the London Borough of Wandsworth. It was built by the London Power Company (LPC) to the design of Leonard Pearce, Engineer in Chief to the LPC, and CS Allott & Son Engineers. The architects were J. Theo Halliday and Giles Gilbert Scott. The station is one of the world's largest brick buildings and notable for its original, Art Deco interior fittings and decor.
The building comprises two power stations, built in two stages, in a single building. Battersea A Power Station was built between 1929 and 1935 and Battersea B Power Station, to its east, between 1937 and 1941, when construction was paused owing to the worsening effects of the Second World War. The building was completed in 1955. "Battersea B" was built to a design nearly identical to that of "Battersea A", creating the iconic four-chimney structure.
"Battersea A" was decommissioned in 1975. In 1980 the whole structure was given Grade II listed status; "Battersea B" closed three years later. The building remained empty until 2014, during which time it fell into near ruin. The building's renovation was completed nearly forty years after it closed and opened to the public on Friday 14 October 2022, to visit the iconic building and the first tranche of shops, bars, restaurants and leisure venues.

For simplicity of stats, I am assigning this to Battersea, Wandsworth SW11, south of the river, where the building is, not to the Chelsea location where I shot this from.

The Jarana Jarocha (a different instrument from the Jarana Huesteca) is small fretted string instrument from the south of Vera Cruz state. Traditinally carved from a single piece of wood, it usually has 8 strings in 5 courses (the double strings in the middle). The Jarana is played percussively with up and down strokes. It is played in the traditional music of the region. The Jarana Jarocha comes in at least five sizes ranging in size from 50 cm to 100 cm and sound from the shrill to the deep: the Chaquiste, Mosquito, Primera, Segunda and Tercera.
The instrument in the photo is made by Candelas Guitars of Los Angles, CA.
Jaranas are assigned the number 321.322-5 in the Hornbostel Sachs classification of musical instruments indicating:
3 = Chordophone. Instruments where the sound is primarily produced by the vibration of a string or strings that are stretched between fixed points.
32 = Composite Chordophone. Acoustic and electro acoustic instruments which have a resonator as an integral part of the instrument, and solid body electric chordophones.
321 = Lutes. Instruments where the plane of the strings runs parallel with the resonators surface.
321.3 = Handle Lutes. Instruments in which the string bearer is a plain handle.
321.32 = Necked Lutes. Instrument in which the handle is attached to, or carved from, the resonator, like a neck
321.322 = Necked Box Lutes. Instruments in which the resonator is built up from wood.
321.322-5 = Instruments where the strings are vibrated by bare hands and fingers.

I think this is the 'Rollo' part. Quite substantial in it's own right, but dwarfed by the slab blocks either side (one of which this photo was taken from)
The beer menu, very extensive, with draught beers served in thirds as well as halves and pints. At The Draft House, Northcote Road.
