The Lighthouse was situated at 73 Lambeth Road.

I know it well as I spent my childhood there visiting and helping my Nanna who ran it. She was the Licencee Mary Josephine Johnson (Josie) in the 1960s -1980s then it passed to her daughter also named Josie. We had great 'stay behinds' (after-hours parties) with family and regulars. Music and dancing then the older people would take a turn at singing. I stayed there every fortnight to clean up the pub and upstairs.In bed I could hear the voices below. Nanna Josie worked extremely hard and the pub was always busy. I'd buy it if I had the money as it's the last of her pubs standing. (She ran other pubs from the 1950s, The Clock, The Atlantic and The Myrtle).
