Hermits cave
Address: 28 Camberwell Church St, London SE5 8QU

This charming old Irish pub attracts a variety of people. From regulars who are there almost daily, to people who want to relax after a long day at work – this is a place where people come to relax, bartender Morgan says. He describes the atmosphere as friendly, cosy, and not too rowdy. They never play music, and they don´t do events, so guests know exactly what to expect when they walk in!

Grove House Tavern
Address: 26 Camberwell Grove, London SE5 8RE
Price for a pint: 5-7 GBP

When we enter the Grove House Tavern a Tuesday evening, they´re in the middle of the weekly quiz night. The atmosphere is quite rowdy, and one of the bartenders – Seb – confirms it´s always like this on Tuesdays. “The guests that come here are all the same – they are in their thirties, kind off wealthy and bearded” he says. Apart from quiz night and stand-up comedy Thursdays, he describes the atmosphere as jazzy and laid back.

Stormbird
Address: 25 Camberwell Church St, London SE5 8TR
Price for a pint: starts at 6 GBP

Stormbird is a craft beer pub, and its wide selection of beers is what attracts most visitors. One of the guests – Thomas – is here with friends to try new beers, as the selection is constantly changing. They ordered 1/3 pints, which allows them to make their way through a larger variety of drinks. Thomas says they come here often, because of the community of beer enthusiasts, which includes the staff. The atmosphere is laid back, and you are even allowed to bring in food from the restaurant next door.

The Tiger
Address: 18 Camberwell Green, London SE5 7AA
Price for a pint: 5.10 (Heineken)

Inside this large Victorian pub, Ellie is by the bar serving customers. Mondays and Tuesdays there are mostly locals here, but come weekend the place turns into a club, she says. Different DJ´s play a variation of music – ranging from techno to afro beats. On Wednesdays, they do quiz night, and on some Thursdays they arrange karaoke.

The Old Dispensary
Address: 325 Camberwell New Rd, London SE5 0TF
Price for a pint: 5.50 (Heineken)

The Old Dispensary is packed, even though it´s a regular Tuesday when SLL arrive sometime after midnight. The bar is so busy, we talk to one of the guests instead. Lizzy is here with a group of friends she got to know because of the bar. She says most people here know each other, and that there´s a big sense of community. Guests are young and trendy, and the atmosphere is down to earth. There´s live music here every week.
