a compliment... has soul / flavour / a vibe

I guess loads of factors can determine whether a pub is good or not. Happy to find out about people's choices and reasons whatever they may be :)

Not ED Jocky but a good wee Saturday can be had down The Montpellier, Bar Story, Peckham Springs. All SE15, all a short walk from EDT end of LL.


ETA: The Gowlett is also on that route and a good stop...and pizzas are great.


I'm partial to The Bishop on a Saturday between 1pm and 6pm. Home for 6 with my 6 pints by 6pm regime.


Welcome to ED. I arrived over 10 years ago from Scotland, thinking I'd be around for about 6 months. Still here.

Gowlett is very nice, but the shape of it and the low seating put me off (I don't like sofas in pubs, used to hate it when they tried them in my old local). Not to mention the fact that someone on here reported they'd replaced their pool table with a bar billiards table, which, if true, just screams "wanker".


EDT is cool, but can get a bit too busy.


Actress = souless


Bishop is fine when quiet, but always hated it on busy evenings (even when I was mad for a good night out), too many tossers.


I've nothing against The Great Exhibition, and like the outside space both front and back, but it doesn't do a lot for me.

Thanks for these. Stayed in Peckham when I moved down 3 years ago for a month and a bit so went to Bar Story during my time there. Used to the Montague Arms too - which is closer to Queen's Road. Belter of a pub :)

Fair enough, but I hate having a TV on in the background all the time. Even though I'm not interested in it, I can't help finding my attention drawn to it.

I remember a comedian years ago (think it may have been Lenny Henry) saying they should use giant TV screens during riots. Everyone would be kicking off, but then screens showing Corrie or x factor get lowered and people would just be drawn to it.


It is true that you tend to be drawn to a telly in a pub, but I usually only go to the pub to watch football so not a big problem.

I keep having really good straight up pub food in The Montpelier. Good ales there too and prefer the people generally. So thats my pick.


EDT whilst the central staple/hub I find deathly boring drinks wise. Fine to meet for the odd drink but doesnt make me want to stay long. It can also be the most anonymous pub in ED punter wise. Totally random mix and very diff vibes on diff days. "Cocaine and Chelsea" Saturdays is always a favourite. To avoid.


As Otta says, the rest in SE22 are all kind of self-styled / theme places. I enjoy all of them now and again but none really stand out.

    • Miranda Sawyer of the (once) Observer has done a piece on festival on Insta which might be of-interest.  Councils are private companies, imo. They make money for themselves, imo.  I do not think by law that they have to follow anything brought up by a consultation, this is for 'face' only - hence, LTNs and everything else.  
    • My understanding is the "free event" is 100% Gala, nothing to do with the council. Obviously Gala will still make money from the food & drink that they are trying to coerce punters into buying on their social media posts. Their costs will be negligible due to already having the infrastructure in place for Gala. So Gala are trying to appear community minded by providing this "free event", but the real goal is to set a precedent for a fourth day's festival - which surely no one could possibly object to?!? - in preparation for applying (again) for two three-day festivals spread over two weekends. It's only another two days, right, and the site & equipment is already there, so why would anyone object?!? More money for the council, much more money for Gala, win-win right? But yet another week of our park taken away from us, too, and another 18,000 people trampling & littering the park, and another week of disturbance for the native birds & wildlife...
    • Meson Don Felipe on The Cut was my go to place for many years. Though it's now many years since I was there. 10-15 minute walk from the Tate. If you go can you tell me what it's like nowadays?
    • Doubt you would have got much change out of £150.00 for battery and certainly having forked out for it, best to use your car. I recently sold  my car via webuyanycar.com - very pleasant experience & was roughly what I was expecting. Pop your bangers reg jnto their website to get an idea of price - they do send e mails once a fortnight/month just as an aid for you. Easy enough to delete - don’t even have to read valuation. They literally buy any car - if you can’t get it to them, they will charge you to get it there or recommend a co that will do it for you. Must say, mine was a 2014 reg and whilst a bit suspicious, paid extra to get money into my account as needed it for next car but was assured funds had I not gone down route I took would be in my account within 5 days. I now live in the country - every time I have been back to Dulwich and surrounding area, normally get a fine for driving at wrong time or parking at  wrong time so if I drive now, park in West or East Dulwich and do everything else by public transport and walking.  Were I still to be living in ED then before I left was pondering this very issue but since I have been back regularly for health reason I no longer drive but take the train and then buses, walk or Uber. Much cheaper than running a car and had I stayed, that would have been the course I would have taken. I don’t go out everyday, have an allotment or job to go to or family so in my case, would be cheaper not to have a car.  Was truely shocked   at the cost of second hand cars…..but where I now live only has a smattering of buses so no choice but to have wheels to get from A to B etc.
