The Telegraph, WANDSWORTH, London

The Telegraph was named after Admiralty Telegraph, a shutter station which stood at the site from 1796-1848 to convey messages between London and Portsmouth at the time of the Napoleonic Wars. We would describe ourselves as a country pub in the heart of London, enjoying beautiful views across Putney Heath, which was once itself described as 'a wide expanse of open ground, uncultivated, where large crowds could assemble, horses could be raced, troops could be exercised and reviewed, duels could be fought and where highwaymen preyed on the increasing traffic along the Portsmouth Road'. Thankfully things are a little calmer nowadays. We hope you can join us for a drink or bite to eat soon.
