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?

      Miliband plots 15pc net zero tax on gas bills

      By jazzer · Posted

      "attack on the tax", I posted a link, how was that an attack? I didn't write the article, so how was that an attack on the proposed tax?  Are you now saying what can and cannot be posted, when did you become Admin(NOT).

      Your post was an attack on the tax   I didn’t  address or mention you in my reply. Just pointed  out the problems with the article you then told be I wasn’t invited.  In no way am I bullying anyone. The reverse is true if anything

      The problem is, I'm not sure what the going rate is for park land for festivals of this nature. I'm sure they are paying less than outfits pay for access to the big stadia - but these have better facilities and are normally better for public transport. I am also sure that Councils could press for more, and should do so, but of course there isn't really a shortage of council lands to exploit, so these entrepreneurs could go elsewhere. What I would like to know is how much of the suggested £440,000 this year for Southwark is net profit - what are their costs in getting and administering this let? If this is a gross figure then what do they actually have as 'surplus'? But at least we have a starting point now - even if it's a guess I'm thinking it's a reasonably informed one.
