Usually has 3-5 five real ales on handpump, mainly from Sharp’s, Sambrook’s and Hogs Back. Also has a real cider on handpump. Acquired by Young’s as pub operator, from Redcomb Pubs in January 2019. |
| Clock House | 196a Peckham Rye East Dulwich SE22 9QA | Deceptively spacious Young’s pub with mainly contemporary styling, situated overlooking the green open space of Peckham Rye. The small front bar leads through to a larger rear seating area. In the summer months the front of the pub opens out directly onto the large, paved, outdoor seating area. Has an upstairs function room with private bar. Quiz night on Tuesdays. Has an area to the left of the building called Blake’s, for craft beer and cocktails. |
| Dulwich Constitutional Club | 33 East Dulwich Grove East Dulwich SE22 8PW | A members only drinking club based in the heart of Dulwich.

| East Dulwich Tavern | 1 Lordship Lane East Dulwich SE22 8EW | Traditional pub on a striking semi-circular corner site and containing antique furniture with comfortable seating areas giving a cosy effect with the subdued lighting. The wooden floor boards surround many distinctive original floor tiles of varying patterns. The food is good quality. Outdoor seating on the pavement. Jazz events are held at the upstairs rooms (The Lodge). The Lodge is also available for private functions. |
| Franklins | 157 Lordship Lane East Dulwich SE22 8HX | A free house/bar & restaurant opened in 1999 in former commercial premises. |
| Great Exhibition | 193 Crystal Palace Road East Dulwich SE22 9EP | Victorian pub, formerly the Crystal Palace Tavern. Ex-Allied, then Punch, until it was renamed when taken over in 2012 by the Inn Brighton pub company (from 2014 renamed to the Laine Pub Company). Whilst the historic two-bar layout no longer exists, the current incarnation does however create an excellent contemporary pub, which is very popular with the locals. Some period features do remain, particularly the side porch. Usually has 3 changing real ales in addition to the regular Laine’s Best. |
| Herne Tavern | 2 Forest Hill Road East Dulwich SE22 0RR | Just off Peckham Rye Park, the Herne Tavern is one of Britain’s Real Heritage Pubs for its original 1930s interior.

There is substantial seating capacity outside on the street corner. 9 handpumps, 6 facing the entrance and 3 in the left hand bar area. Quiz night Thursday. |
| Watson’s General Telegraph | 108 Forest Hill Road East Dulwich SE22 0RS | Classic Truman’s pub, still with original outside decoration and detail, was the Forest Hill Tavern, hence why the buses that terminate outside still have that destination! Inside is open plan with a large bar at one side and a mixture of tables & chairs and sofas. There are open fires and some of the wood panelling survives. Outside the large garden is now mainly covered thanks to a large canopy providing protection from the elements. There are 6 handpumps with one given over to cider. Under Laine management and refurbished in January 2016. |
