| Pub name Name | Address | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Alma | 95 Church Road Crystal Palace SE19 2TA | Situated on the busy Crystal Palace “triangle”, this pub enthusiastically promotes beers from the increasing numbers of local breweries. There are no regular beers, but a changing range of guests on the four handpumps. The pub is formed of a large square with a central bar and a high ceiling. The floors and tables are mainly wooden, with exposed brickwork and the large windows much in evidence. In addition to the buses listed, several other routes terminate at Crystal Palace bus station, about 15 minutes walk away. |
| Westow House | 79 Westow Hill Crystal Palace SE19 1TX | A popular former Antic pub, operated by Portobello Brewing since late 2020, with a quirky mix of furniture and artwork, situated within the vibrant Crystal Palace triangle. The pub serves a changing selection of real ales drawn mostly from microbreweries, often including those from the Greater London area. Occasional meet the brewer events are also held. Lunchtime and evening meals are served daily. Regular live music is expected to recommence in autumn 2021 along with a weekly quiz.

| Colby Arms | 132 Gipsy Hill Gipsy Hill SE19 1PW | There are several unused sets of doors, testifying to its former multi-room format. In fact it still is effectively two rooms, with the back room reached via an archway to the right of the front bar on the main road. It’s mainly carpeted, but with a smallish bare-boarded area to the left of the main bar, where the pool table is sited. Furnishings comprise a banquette or two, but are mainly standard chairs and smallish round tables, and there’s a traditional tiled splash area surrounding the bar counter. Shelves above the bar back contain some nick-nacks such as scales, vases, stoneware jugs and the like, and a shelving unit near the pool table contains sporting trophies. Wall decor consists of various prints. This is a comfortable and friendly locals’ pub. |
| Great Southern | 79 Gipsy Hill Gipsy Hill SE19 1QH | Large premises in an imposing building from the mid 1800s. Now knocked into a large single room and updated to be more food centric. There are usually one or two real ales and one or two ciders on handpump. |
