Friendlest pub in SE London by a mile. Lovely staff & regulars. Quizzes are a good laugh. Food can be anything from average to awesome - seems to vary quite a bit. I always look forward to popping down for a pint and having an outside area for BBQ's is a real bonus. Go on Neil!

Best pub in SE5, hands down. A bit pricey but that helps keep the flat cappers and chavs out. Real ales.

Having just moved a few streets away I've been searching for a new local for a few weeks now. Me and my wife stumbled across The Cambria as we walked home from Ruskin Park and I've got to say I was very pleasantly surprised. It ticks all the boxes for a good local. Bright, airy, not very smoky at all, decent food and a good selection of beer. A great little boozer.

Without doubt the WORST pub in the whole of London. Terrible food, dreadful decor, rubbish staff. The singer on Sunday night has delusions of grandeur - sadly they are delusions like none I have ever witnessed. This used to be a nice relaxed pub, great for a local boozer. It now seems to be under the impression it's an ex-pat bar in Magaluf - what a shame.

Used to be an ok, average boozer. Nice mix of people and just generally pretty unremarkable but reliable. Until now. In the last couple of weeks there has been a change of management, and a distinct attempt to turn it into another Sun and Doves type bar (rather than a pub)
There's now art for sale on the walls, a dedicated no smoking area, and lots of kids ramping around AND the comfy sofas have gone. Service is rubbish too. There was only one bloke serving at sunday lunchtime, including taking out food orders. It took 40mins for 2 roasts to come (and not before mine had been served to another customer, and then re-presented to me cold)
It's my local, but I won't be back in a hurry.

Nice pub and one of the few in a big area between Denmark Hill and Herne Hill. It needs updating though, the old faded blue facade and the new pink walls inside are not very appealing. In the last two years it has become a sports bar only, which it's a shame because the atmosphere and the crowd was much nicer before (also the food). Yet a huge potential to become a fantastic place to go if changes are made.

Great wee boozer. A breath of fresh air compared to the dives in Brixton. Nice mix of people.

fantastic local, tucked away in Ruskin village. Great food, pool table and cheerful staff... quiz nights every Thursday a must.

Good atmosphere, friendly staff, excellent food. Gets v. busy towards the end of the week, especially thursdays (quiz night) and sundays (sunday roast, yum). Get there early and you can snag the comfy sofas too!

Nice quiet place to come on a sunday for food. Little off the beaten track but excellent place for a pint if someone's forced you to go for a run in Ruskin Park.

Tucked away from it all, so much so there's never anyone in there.

Probably the best value pub food in Ruskin Village, plus a relaxed quiz on a Thursday night.

Nice pub in the heart of Ruskin Village (Herne Hill for the less familiar). Serves standard lagers and beers, has a good wine selection. Good food served and atmosphere relaxed.
