Main online presence is Instagram @thebearcamberwell
Cambria40 Kemerton Road
Camberwell
SE5 9AR
Tucked away down one of Camberwell’s side streets close to Ruskin Park and having been closed for almost 3 years, the Cambria reopened in March 2022 as the first London outlet of the small Prospect Pubs & Bars chain established by the original founders of Redcomb Pubs (sold to Young’s in 2019). The pub was given a substantial refurbishment including moving the bar back to create a larger drinking area and the addition of a rear garden room with retractable roof. The smart, spacious interior retains its wood panelling and flooring. At the rear is a spacious outdoor area complete with a mural by local Brixton Brewery.
Crooked Well16 Grove Lane
Camberwell
SE5 8SY
A restaurant and bar specialising in British food. Now free of tie, the beer range has been expanded with cask, craft and bottle bottled beers added to the cocktails and extensive wine list. Dining experiences, including beer versus wine dinners with local brewer and sommeliers/wine makers going head to head are also held. Breakfast is available at weekends in addition the daily lunch and dinner services. There is a discount for NHS workers on drinks only during the week 5pm-8pm (excluding other offers). Has a sibling site in The Perryvale at Forest Hill.
Fox on the Hill149 Denmark Hill
Camberwell
SE5 8EH
Spacious and welcoming Wetherspoon pub situated, as its name suggests, as an imposing detached building at the top of a steep hill. Inside are a number of cosy, low-screened booths, whilst outside is a spacious garden, smokers’ terrace and front lawn with picnic tables. Wall displays depict the history of the local area, including the well known Victorian former resident John Ruskin, after whom the nearby park is named. Unusually for a Wetherspoon house all toilets are at pub floor level. There are 16 handpumps here in banks of 6, 6 & 4. Between 4 and 6 changing real ales are usually available and the pub hosts regular Meet the Brewer events. Breakfasts are served from 8am with alcohol served from 9am.
George Canning123 Grove Lane
Camberwell
SE5 8BG
A 19th century pub named after a former Foreign Secretary who subsequently became Prime Minister for the last 119 days of his life in 1827. There is a covered outdoor seating area at the front. All day food from an open view kitchen. DJ and live music at weekends, plus quiz night on Sunday. Comprehensively refurbished in August 2023.
Grove House26 Camberwell Grove
Camberwell
SE5 8RE
An impressive interwar pub reminiscent of a French villa, taken over by the small Parched London group in April 2021. The exterior is rich with architectural flourishes and sports a distinctive mansard roof. Its columned entrance leads to the high-ceilinged space of the L shaped public bar. A variety of table and seating styles are available, including sofas, banquette, plus high backed armchairs in the games conservatory.
Currently has three changing real ales with a focus on smaller breweries. Lunchtime food is by Mondo Sando (sub rolls and salad) and the evening menu is by Cutie Pies.
Hermits Cave28 Camberwell Church Street
Camberwell
SE5 8QU
Just off Camberwell Green on a street corner, this family-run pub provides a haven from the bustle of the area. With a curved frontage, lovely Victorian windows, bare-boarded floor and simple décor, it is popular with a lively, mixed clientele. There is no music, so conversation reigns. Sport is shown on muted TV in one corner or occasionally on a big screen. 7 handpumps in all, and in late 2023 reports were received that the pub had aspirations to use them all.
Joiners Arms35 Denmark Hill
Camberwell
SE5 8RS
The pub first opened in the 1800s and at that time was frequented by joiners. Since the 1920s it has been an Irish pub. The pub is split into two bars, a smaller front bar area from a larger more modern room at the back which has a small stage for live music. The pub boasts an impressive range of spirits and an eye-catching tiled mural on the front bar wall being a panel bearing the arms of the Joiners’ & Ceilers’ Company, one of some 100 City livery companies. Its motto is “Join Truth With Trust”. The kitchen is located behind the front bar in what was originally the glazed-in Publican’s office. Quiz night Wednesday. Local resident Florence Welch’s favourite pub (ES Magazine 13.07.18) and she has been known to gig here too.
Kennington60 Camberwell New Road
Camberwell
SE5 0RS
Ex-Allied, now Punch. Was the Skinners Arms until c.2004, then a Black Sheep bar. Opened with new name in March 2012. Three-storey red-brick building with copper turret, ribbed white stonework, ground floor exterior extended to corner. Fairly modern decor, off-white and grey colour scheme, no period features. Popular, good mix of custom. Three handpumps available.
PhoenixWindsor Walk
Camberwell
SE5 8BB
Used to be the ticket hall of the railway station, burned down in 1980. Opened as a pub in 1984 as the Phoenix & Firkin, the chain was bought in turn by Allied and then Bass. In 2000 it became an O’Neill’s, renamed again c.2005. Listed brick Victorian railway station building with a nice wrought-iron canopy. Spacious bare-boarded interior with a long bar made from a mahogany tree, high raftered ceiling, a huge station clock (from Llandudno Junction), small gallery at one end accessed via a spiral staircase.
4 handpumps.
Bar staff say closing times during the week is temperamental if business is light.
Stormbird25 Camberwell Church Street
Camberwell
SE5 8TR
Sister pub to the Hermits Cave across the road, offering a bare-boarded and contemporary feel. In addition to regularly changing real ales and a cider through 6 handpumps, there is a large range of craft keg beers on tap plus an extensive bottled beer selection, including beers from the UK, continental Europe and the US. Steep stairs down to basement toilets. Run by the same operator as Star & Garter in Bromley.
Sun of Camberwell61-63 Coldharbour Lane
Camberwell
SE5 9NS
Previously the Sun & Doves. Ex-Courage, now leased from Star Pubs & Bars. Previous tenants (1995 to 2011) went out of business following a long-running dispute, founding the “fair pint” campaign along the way. Reopened in November 2012 by Antic and renamed. Nice contemporary pub appealing to local professionals and medical staff from the hospital. Large bareboarded floorspace generally furnished with rustic kitchen style chairs and tables. An area to the right rear has a raised area for diners. 2 vinyl decks play the music here. 6 handpumps.
Tiger18 Camberwell Green
Camberwell
SE5 7AA
Originally the Silver Buckle, The Tiger is in the heart of Camberwell, now leased and run by Antic, thus its interior is a charming retro vintage, lovely green tilework on the outside. Pub quiz Tuesday evenings, DJs on Friday nights, singer/songwriters on Sunday evenings. Real ale is served by default into handled mugs but straight glasses are available upon request. 4 handpumps.
