Part ‘P’ of our two year mission to visit the best London pubs, alphabetically.
We asked you to vote for your favourite pubs and bars in the Peckham/Camberwell area. We had a great response, with many venues picking up plenty of votes. So much so that we're going to run the pub crawl on a Saturday to fit six of the best in (see below map), rather than the usual four.
The Results
1. Hermits Cave (26 votes)
2. Frank's Cafe and Campari Bar (21 votes)
=3. The Gowlett (17 votes)
=3. Storm Bird (17 votes)
=5. The Montpelier (16 votes)

7. The Tiger (14 votes)
8. The Crooked Well (12 votes)
=9. The Old Nun's Head (10 votes)
=9. The Bear (10 votes)
Special congratulations to the Old Nun's Head, which isn't strictly speaking in Peckham or Camberwell, but is so good that it crept into our top 10.

The Pub Crawl
The pub crawl will take place on Saturday 27 July, starting nice and early so the riotously popular Frank's Bar isn't too busy.
12 noon: Meet at Frank's Bar - it's the famous one on top of the multi-storey car park.
1.30pm: Bar Story
3pm: The Montpelier
4.30pm: The Gowlett
6.30pm: Storm Bird
8pm: Hermits Cave
Depending how we go, we might also take in the Crooked Well and/or The Tiger as well.
