The New Cross Inn / Bar Alchemy, New Cross

I find this place very clicky and studenty, the odd local that you do find in there is definately one too few. The music is a bit hit and miss especially since the students have total control of what's played in there. The decor I have to say is brilliant and I love the fact that it almost has the appearance of a very intimate trendy bar... shame about the music cause if I could go in there for a quiet drink n a chat I would

The Marquis of Granby, New Cross

I think this pub is full of charm. With John behind the bar who's always up for a bit of banter! I really think the place could do with a bit of an update though.... cigarette holes in the chairs and one of the couches near the door is totally torn. Only place in London that I know of that will turn off the soccar and favour the hurling.... Paul and John Joe are great craic too and are very helpful. They used have a scottish lad that worked there.... wonder where he's gone. I do admit that the two old ladies are a bit labourous on the eye but they know the bar like the back of their hand and are great at keeping the drinks flowing.
