A popular pub in south London has reopened after a six-figure investment.
The Anchor in Battersea closed its doors in May for a revamp and has now reopened with a new look.
The investment has created five new jobs in the community.
The pub, in Holgate Avenue, has kept its character but added new features.
It has established itself as a destination for pub sports, with a new darts area and a dedicated space for pool enthusiasts.

The Anchor also now has Sky Q, allowing the pub to show more games than anywhere else with the venue able to show multiple matches from lower league football teams across the weekend.
Inside the pub, a brand-new bar has been installed, allowing for more space to serve drinks while reducing waiting times.
In the outdoor area, new wooden benches equip The Anchor’s beer garden with a homely feel alongside fresh hanging baskets which improve the pub’s aesthetics.

It also boasts a fine selection of beers, ciders and wine, all at some of the most competitive price points in the area, as well as an extensive offering of no and low alcohol offerings, ensuring all guests are accommodated.
Jack O’Reilly, operator at the Anchor, said: “After working hard behind the scenes for several months, it was great to welcome guests back to our pub in style with huge numbers coming in to enjoy one of our tipples.
“The feedback we’ve received from guests about how much they love the new décor and all the new features we’ve been working hard behind the scenes on has been brilliant to hear.
“We know the work completed has not only enhanced our warm and welcoming atmosphere but also strengthened the pub’s community spirit, which was at the heart of our thoughts during the investment.”

Mondays feature dominoes during the day and killer pool in the evening, while Tuesdays bring killer darts, both with a £2 entry fee.
Wednesday is all about midweek karaoke, while Thursdays are reserved for the darts and pool league.
Guests can get their dancing shoes on for Friday’s karaoke disco, and the weekend brings the party atmosphere to Battersea with live music and DJs late into the night.
Sunday afternoon gives guests the chance to win their weekly shop, while later in the night invites the smartest in Battersea to test their knowledge at the weekly quiz.
