The Goat at Beddington corner
Noel Foster
The Surrey Iron Railway, the world's first public railway, passed the door at Beddington Corner, where Goat Road meets Carshalton Road. Once there were lavender and leather works in the vicinity and the latter gave the Goat its name. The building is reasonably well kept and the main room has a wooden interior with banquettes along the front wall and a separate space used for dining. The walls are decorated with a number of old photos of Mitcham.
This pub is described by one local on "wwwbeerevening.com" as a pub with "a nice atmosphere, friendly staff, nothing spectacular on tap but what is there goes down a treat. Kareoke takes place a couple of times a week. Does get a bit loud at times but it is thankfully in good atmosphere other than 'lets start a fight'"
