Hi I moved to ED from West London and absolutely loving it. What I do miss is though a good old school boozer have been to the EDT, Bishop etc but are there any good 'proper' pubs round here?


Also what are the other interesting areas to visit and is the farmers market in Peckham on a Sunday any good?


Wuld be great to get some suggestions of what to do round here!!


Cheers

Hi and welcome,

What do you mean by good proper pub?

Sawdust on floor? Everyone smoking themselves - and anyone nearby passively-so - to death?

Appalling beer from just one brewery?

The ladies drinking their half ciders out the back room with the kids in their prams?

Do proper pubs not have televisions?


Yeah - what dya mean by good proper pub?


Just wonderin' like. :)

Welcome to the area TommyT. There are about a trillion pub related discussions which should answer most of your questions.

Like PR, I'm not sure of your definition of a good old fashioned boozer, but at a pinch and depending on that definition, you could try the CPT or The Castle on Crystal Palace road, the Crown & Greyhound (aka the Dog) or a host of pubs a bit further afield in camberwell, pekcham (pronounced pay-sharm), nunhead or forest hill directions.


Also Hoopers on Ivanhoe road is good for proper beer.

Good proper pub = CPT - Crystal Palace Tavern, or the Gowlett or The Clock House - there will be many other recommendations no doubt.


We are also but a short train ride fom London Bridge, where there are many nice pubs and Borough Market on a Friday and Saturday, the Daddy of all such markets.


Welcome!

Welcome to the area Tommy. I second what has been said about the Crystal Palace Tavern (CPT). It?s a top pub! It is over here:

The Castle is also what one would call an ?old school boozer? but a bit more shall we say, rough around the edges. It is up the road. Expect the locals (which include a few vaguely humanoid beings and a couple of dogs) to stop their conversations and turn to look at you when you walk in.

But that's just them being friendly! Isn't it nicer to be noticed and welcomed in the local dialect ("Who the f**k are you???) rather than ignored?

      Thames Water meter rip off?

      By Rumbero · Posted

      I’m in exactly the same position.  They badgered me for ages to have a water meter fitted.  I’d prevaricated simply because it’s so tedious dealing with these people but eventually gave in when the communications became increasingly frequent and aggressive and it was done in March 2023. I just assumed I’d then be charged on actual consumption but I received an email this morning with details of the latest price increase and it said, “Since your property doesn’t have a water meter, your bill is calculated in advance based on fixed rates rather than water usage”.  I’m sure they’ve realised I’d be paying much less if they billed me on actual consumption but have not gone out of their way to inform me.  Trawling through their website, for me anyway, is an unutterably tedious chore, but I think I’ll now have to work up the energy over the weekend to pick up the phone on Monday morning and have a word with them.

      Plumber recommendation - Andy Burke

      By shazza76 · Posted

      Great Service again from Andy.  Contacted him with a couple of issues with toilet cistern and shower.  He came over and sorted it all out quickly. Good advice given, reasonable charge for the jobs.  Highly recommend Andy!

      Be careful on the pavements...

      By malumbu · Posted

      Just seen this.  Your post was a bit unnecessary.  I was simply responding to the previous post that children should be cycling on the pavement. But as you say I know shed loads about transport.  Not to the depths that some go down to the minutia.  Some call me the space cowboy.  Some call me the gangster of love.  I think of myself as the people's poet.  You have to laugh at yourself. Echoing what DKH said, we weren't there, you don't know the parent was making a snide remark, My favourite Dulwich parent story was a few years ago were friends when we were in the Herne garden a few years ago, who let their children run riot.  Bless.  One decided to turn the hose on spraying some poor drinkers.  Now most of us would be mortified, but the friends welcomed their child's creativity.
