The pub dates from 1932 and was designed by the architect A E Sewell for the Truman's Brewery. It is made of brick with faience and inscribed tiling with text such as "Trumans Est'd 1666", "London Stout" and "Burton Ales". For a monarch who only spent seven years on the throne King William IV seems, for some reason, to have had disproportionately more public houses named after him than any other king. A listing of old pubs in Camberwell alone reveals two others. Perhaps it was something to do with his relative popularity with the general public.
