This is a pub-lovers' pub, arguably the best in Camberwell. Unpretentious, friendly staff, good mix of locals and art students makes for a friendly relaxed atmosphere, and there is a great range of beers and, particularly, traditional ciders. The selection changes every so often, with old favourites such as the Old Rosie remaining on tap.

Relatively small, but perfectly formed. Lovely staff, nice beers, good place to watch the game.
Everyone should go here, because if it ever closes then you'd feel guilty.
How a pub should be - though they do need ashtrays on the wall outside.

Moved to Camberwell in 2002 initially drank at the Funky Monkey and would look across to the Hermits & think rough! Oh the irony, I now do that from the opposite direction (and have been for the last 4 years).

This place is easily the best place by miles for miles (literally - I now live in Vauxhall & still consider the Hermits my local).

A bit art college studenty at times (I mean that in a nice way) but not overpoweringly so.

Yep there are the regulars/locals and their cliques including me & my best mate- the ultimate clique. Everyone gets on with everyone & that leads to much merriment.

Having no 'mood' music is not something you actually notice or miss, although I have ONCE heard music.. New Years Eve 2004. My friends from out of town were down & we ended up here (every other place in the vicinity was rammed & over-charging on the doors) But not the good old honest Hermits. To be honest I was slightly worried about what they'd think, I needn't of worried as we all had FANTASTIC night.

Actually it was one of the Best New Years ever!!

Great place. Three Cheers to the Hermits.

legendary pub. really good atmosphere-crowd reflects the up and coming nature of the area. good selection of ales/lagers/ciders and they show footy now which is great.

Top pub for well kept real ales, perrys, ciders and classic pub surroundings. Best pub in the green.
