A Victorian pub on the corner of Carshalton and Lind Roads. That second road is a clue to the pub's current name. Jenny Lind was a famous mid 19th century singer known as "The Swedish Nightingale." She was one of the earliest Celebrities in the modern sense, to the extent that there were pubs named after her, including, at one time, this one. It's now called The Nightingale, so the connection is still there. https://www.thenightingalesutton.co.uk/history
