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?

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
