Need to find a classic south london 'boozer', any ideas?

[panda boy]

Thanks all, some good suggestions in there.

Although i may body swerve the queen anne red devil! Ta for opening my eyes to 'dodgy boozers' though, great site.

(HonaloochieB, i've been tasked with trying to find a south london pub for a date, and a first date at that!)

How about the Montague Arms in New Cross?

He he, The Queen Anne Vauxhall. What a pub.

I used to work across the road in the tall BT building called Camelford House(next to MI6), whence all the BT engineery type blokes (avec beer gut) disgorged into the Queen Anne of a lunchtime to gawp at the strippers. I think male BT employees provided them with the majority of their custom in those days.

I didn't realise it was largely unchanged from those days (late 80s).

You know you are in a real boozer when

(a) you touch the top of any table or run of wood, and

(b) you have to pull away your hand/fingers owing to generalised stickiness.

Because real boozers never clean with soap and water, only with beer. B)

OOOooh how lovely. How about somewhere in Greenwich then so you can go for a romantic walk before/after?

Best football pub in the area...The Marquis of Granby in New Cross. Irish again with pictures (I mean giat blown up photos) of people working the land and cutting peat etc. Lovely landlord too.

Typical.

Does it finish the portrait of a perfect bog pub with the complimentary pack of starved, rampaging Lurchers, sectarian art adorning the outside with heavily re-inforced iron grills on the windows.

Just thought I'd ask.

the pub opposite bermondsy south train station, the morning of the millwall west ham game.

Fraid not. It's right opposite Goldsmiths so it's mostly full of art student counting their pennies. It's a great place, three tellys for the footy, if there's no footy they have the racing on. Pool table and very friendly staff and drinkers.

I agree SP - its a great pub - I have been there a few times when I use to live near Lewisham - (should be the place to be when Celtic triumph tonight)

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Alas, DrDom, it has closed down.

[????]

This is a proper boozer for West Ham v Millwall ;-)

[Jeremy]

There are still a few "proper" pubs around these parts - and that doesn't necessarily mean skanky.

Hermit's Cave in Camberwell and Hoopers in "Ivanhoe Village" are both good.

[bigbadwolf]

A proper gritty boozer after Jah lush has finished his mid week skinfull.

It may be a shithole, but it's my shithole.

Good isn't it! Do you think it will catch on? As it falls just outside Denmark Hill Village or Bellenden Village, I thought it deserved it's very own village status. Start a facebook group, get a few estate agents on board, forget that it's next to the estate, and bob's your uncle. Think of the house prices.

Is that TLS sloping off?..

[????]

er.....that's Milwall too and many of it's regulars belong in a proper one

[aligs]

The Prince Albert or The Wishing Well on Bellenden Road in Peckham. The Wishing Well has a great pool room.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

But the W Well has been tarted up (hem hem) so it's disqualified.

[aligs]

Has it?
