The Florence, Herne Hill

A very pleasant place, and judging by how busy it can be a very welcome addition to Herne Hill. Every time I've been staff have been friendly and helpful, which is a a winning feature in itself. The pork Sunday roast is very good indeed and worth trying. No TVs or Sky Sports on sight- another welcome feature. Dog friendly at front, child-friendly at the conservatory at the back for those who must bring children with them...

The music seems a bit random at times and if they must play they could IMO make a bit more of an effort, but at least it's not loud and intrusive.

Overall a nice pub with a nice vibe and some interesting beers.

The Prince of Wales, Brixton

The Prince today is a rather different place to the old 'Prince of Wales'. To say that it has gone upmarket is a bit of an understatement. Some might resent that but I much prefer the current venue to the old one. Big comfy sofas, live music & DJs at weekends and open until 4 am on Fridays and Saturdays with free entry, which is certainly refreshing in Brixton.

Not a place for those who seek a quiet ale in traditional pub surroundings though.

The White Hart, West Norwood

Old geezer's venue. In desperate need of redecoration and not the most glamorous of places. Good place if one fancies a cheap drink
