Billed as being in “pursuit of good times”, Arch Clapham has gone through some changes. More an LGBTQ+ cocktail bar than a pub, it is a cosy venue in a railway arch in Clapham, hence its name. A slick and comfortable venue with an outside terrace that morphs into the occasional festival space, offering weekday entertainment (bingo, drag, karaoke), Saturday night dancing with a roster of DJs, plus a chilled Sunday social. Arch Clapham opening times: Wed 4 pm – 12 am, Thu 4 pm – 12 am, Fri 4 pm – 2 am, Sat 2 pm – 2 am, Sun 2 pm – 10 pm, Tue 4 pm – 12 am. The nearest tube to Arch Clapham is Clapham North. You can read our interview with the management when the bar opened back in 2020.
