Corner venue at one end of the stretch that is Westow Hill. Think it is a hill in name only as it certainly seems pretty flat (in comparison to Anerley Hill at least). Quite light and airy. Think it was shut for a while and has had a makeover since the days of the below descriptions. There is a small narrow courtyard at the side of the pub with a screen for watching presumably big live sports, although the screen did seem disproportionate to the number of customers that could fit into the area. Gripe would be the music in the venue was turned up too loud for the time of day.
Beer range was exclusively keg. Nothing exciting at all really given the craft from Gipsy Hill and another brewery I don’t recall we’re both off on my visit. Not fancying a Guinness was really led to the Camden Pale Ale. A poor selection compared to the prior venue today.
There were a number of big screens inside the pub showing highlights from soccer of yesteryear during my visit. I assume this venue markets itself a sport pub in which case it will find its clientele. For me it is a poor neighbour of a number of pretty good drinking venues in the neighbourhood.

The Sparrowhawk is situated on the corner of a very busy road junction.
The pub now sports the horrible battleship grey colour.
Once inside the bar faces,there is a single room which is wrapped around the bar on three sides,the seating is normal tables and chairs and settees to the front and bench seating to the rear.
There were three real ales on the bar,i had a drink of Cronx Kotchin which went down well,the other beers were Harveys Bitter and Purity UBU.
The background music was too quiet to be heard properly,the pub was very busy on my Saturday afternoon visit.
I did not encounter any problems in being served here,so they would probably serve anyone who turns up here for a drink.
