The Gipsy Hill Tavern, Upper Norwood

this is a great local - yep, you've got no real ales in there, but you've got a decent range of lagers, and great service. good place for watching the footie, ping pong, darts and table football for entertainment, as well as the events they stick on regularly, like comedy nights and gigs... it's a much better pub than when I first lived in the areas about ten years ago. I'd recommend it highly

The Royal Oak, Borough

first visit to this place - slightly off the beaten Borough track, it was fit to bursting on a Wednesday at 6pm. a large group of squeezed in and loved the place - great atmosphere between a cosy lounge and almost-as-cosy bar area, lovely wood feel to the place, and very tasty looking pies... I tried a very distinctive porter, and another I enjoyed but couldn't remember by the end of the evening. strikes me as a perfect place for a lazy saturday afternoon of pints n grub. a delight
