Crooked Well is nice, as is The Palmerston and the Actress does the best pizza but avoid it there's football on. The Rye Hotel is crap, food awful last week and it was like a cr?che and whatever you do, don't have a roast in the Clockhouse - rank! Clockhouse bar staff are slow and dopey and if it's nice weather it's like a cr?che and full of annoying families and really rough looking regulars who use fowl language, smoke like chimney's and look at you like they own the place! Vile!
Erm, I'm a regular at The Clockhouse you toffee nosed madam, yes I smoke but not on a loop and the regulars, as you so call us are REGULARS, we go in a few nights a week where as people like you come once in a blue moon, I go in there after work (yes, I do work - very good job in the media actually) and have been for about 4 years, the regulars know my name, we chat and they are loyal and friendly, and the bar staff know my tipple! And to quote us a rough? I don't really class a south London accent as rough, if you don't like mixing or looking at a load of honest and decent people who drink in there regulary then I suggest you don't come in as my bite is worse than my stare!

fowl language - is that a lot of squawking at the 'rank' food?

Well tillytots the regulars at the Clockhouse probably do own the place as they've spent enough over the years! You must be so up your own backside that you can't see or hear properly or maybe you feel the world should adapt to you 'cos you obviously think you're very special!! I should imagine you're very boring and colourless so you wouldn't fit in with the regulars anyway as they'd be far too witty for you! I see someone picked up on the 'fowl' language, so lots of cluck cluck jokes coming up!! Maybe you'd also like a pecking order at the bar!
I am a regular at the Clockhouse too. Been going there for over 20years. Firstly I don't smoke, secondly I don't stare at people especially toffee nose stuck up ones. I don't own the place but I feel like I should the amount of money that I have put over the bar and I certainly wouldn't want you in my pub. Next time your in there Tillytots come over and introduce your self rather than slag us regulars off behind a computer. You used the word vile you must be vile because I am certainly not and neither are my friends. We are all good people paid our NI and taxes all of our lifes. Have a good day!!!

Last time I looked the Clockhouse wasn't in Camberwell. I agree about the d?cor. It's been ruined. Same goes for The Dulwich Woodhouse. It has put me off going to both pubs and I've been going in them for 40 years. And if Tillytots is the sort of person who goes in there with any regularity then I'll definitely be avoiding it in future.


Anyway, back to Camberwell... Another plus for the Crooked Well.

Love Angels & Gypsies. That whole stretch is great for (evening) eating. Plus the pubs for more daytime stuff and boozing of course.


Camberwell Arms is pretty great - menu always changing, make their own charcuterie, cocktails, more adventurous stuff like game/rabbit. Crooked Well very good too, but a safer option.

    • Thanks TWB, that is all really useful. However, if  memory serves, The Fox Project actually directed me to The Fox Angels when I phoned them, and had no facilities in this area for sending anybody out themselves. They seem to be based in Tunbridge Wells. The Greenwich Wildlife Network also just suggests other organisations who may help in certain situations. To the best of my knowledge, however, for situations involving foxes, including injured or ill  foxes, Fox Angels are the only people who have someone available very locally who can come out virtually immediately (I waited maybe half an hour after I phoned them). The person who came had all the necessary equipment to move the fox, was very gentle and caring, and took the fox to a local vet (it sadly died). It's possible that if you phoned a local vet they would help, if you could get the fox there. The RSPCA has guidelines on what to do if you find an  animal in need,  however although they have recently had a campaign on this (and sent me a badge and a copy of the guidelines on a pocket sized card) I can't find them online. I attach a photo. Don't know if the QR code would work from a photo.    
    • My mum (91 years young!) well remembers going to Austin's as a child, which she described as an 'Aladdin's Cave'!  She absolutely loved it - and is still a shopping fiend to this day (I 'blame' Austin's 😉). Going back up Peckham Rye, passing Austin's on your right hand-side, just past Phillips Walk (so not far from Austin's at all), I believe there was a British Relay Wireless shop - this would have been in the late 1930s/early 1940s.  Does anyone know anything about this? My grandad (my mum's dad) used to manage it; it was severely damaged in The Blitz - but I am having trouble locating it.  Mum's memory is dim (she was 6 at the time); she originally thought it was in Rye Lane, but we think now it was in Peckham Rye just up from Phillips Walk (originally Phillips Road). 
    • Thanks everyone, this will need to be reported again as the fox was still mobile and walking down the road when last seen... hopefully someone will spot and report.
