Nestled in Peckham, Clock House Tavern is a stunning pub that boasts a bright and airy atmosphere, featuring hanging greenery, rich forest green interiors, and inviting contemporary lighting.
Spanning two delightful floors, it offers a fantastic Sunday menu that lures in hungry visitors with its mouthwatering roasts. Indulge in dishes like crispy lamb belly, hearty vegetarian Wellingtons, and finish off with a delectable cherry Bakewell topped with creamy crème fraîche.
This family friendly pub is a renowned gastro pub in the area. The Old Nun's Head is set in a large, historic building right near Peckham Rye Station. The wood paneling, fire place and cosy atmosphere make it a popular location for a family meal, a Sunday roast or even a private party. Their claim? To be the Ryan Gosling of pubs of course.
Grove House Tavern is one of the best pubs in Peckham, tucked away in the oh-so charming Camberwell Grove. Offering colourful interiors and a spacious outdoor area, this place is keeping you refreshed with tasty drinks as well as bites from Mondo Sando and Cutie Pies.
Situated in the heart of Peckham, this south London boozer is a hotspot for all things beer. From real ales to craft beers, you won't go thirsty; especially when there's a pub quiz, live jazz events and DJs to look forward to through the week.
Head to the Prince of Peckham for a community pub of tasty craft beers, expertly made cocktails and Caribbean food from the wonderful White Men Can't Jerk as this ever bustling venue shines with bottomless brunches and then some.
Quirky Peckham pub John The Unicorn boasts hanging lanterns, velvet booths and exposed brick walls, making for a quirky setting when you next want a pint. Plus, you can expect tasty cocktails and pizza to add to the home-from-home vibes.
Just a short walk from Peckham Rye station, this quirky pub offers tasty seafood dishes, a fantastic selection of beers, wines and spirits, and even a secret cinema room which offers a variety of screenings from cult classics to forgotten gems.
Restored Victorian pub Earl of Derby is a charming joint of open fires, wooden panels and a striking bar, all with the friendly local vibes to match. Found between New Cross and Peckham, the boozer makes sure you've got tunes on the jukebox throughout the week - plus live DJs on Fridays and Saturdays. Food comes in the form of pies, roasts, sausage and mash and more from Gengelly's, a kitchen named after head chefs George Genn and Laurence Pengelly (formerly of Good as Gold in Brockley).
Of course, by 'Pubs in Peckham', we mean Pubs in Peckham and Dulwich. Sure, it's a little out of the way, but WGT is absolutely worth venturing further afield for. There's a vast selection of excellent beer, fantastic pub grub that caters for the carnivores and the vegans, a vinyl-only music policy and, to top it all off, one of the best beer gardens in the whole of south-east London.
Known for its family friendly atmosphere, The Rye isn't just perfect for a few little ones, this cool and casual Peckham pub is also known for its intimate beer garden, gastro grub and big screen for sports come football season.
