What is Walworth Bus Garage normally all about? Philately? Badger-bating? Bar billiards?

I've been meaning for a while to start a thread about places in London that make you feel like you're in Soviet Russia and the inside of that post office is one of them.They've tarted up the exterior of the post office of doom

Yep, a few times. Very friendly people. Bit of a hippy, rasta vibe. I have to be in the mood for earnest vegetarian galettes to eat there, though.

Go for the pressed ginger and lemon doobry. If you're eating, think sweet and simple - some of the savoury options are, indeed, a bit worthy. Lovely place to hang out for a few hours, though.

We had a night out in Camberwell on Saturday. Drink in the Joiners, meal at Caravaggio (which was great), band at the Crypt, drink and another band at the Joiners again. I'd like to check out some of other pubs next time - we went into the Hermit's Cave but couldn't get a seat so went to the Joiners instead. Which pubs are good in Camberwell?

culturally dominant
We spent yesterday afternoon recovering from a hospital appointment/playing out in Camberwell. I liked The Old Dispensary (Old Rosie £3.40/pint, dropping to £3.10 during happy hour) and it had a pleasantly random selection of punters - it might gain favourite Camberwell pub status. We also tried The Tiger - I haven't been in there since it was the truly awful Silver Buckle, and even then I only went in once, decided I didn't fancy a fight and left fairly swiftly - which was ok, but the beers weren't that great and only one cider (Symonds) on tap. I'm not sure it's a good sign if the bar staff readily confess that they don't know anything about the ales because they only drink Strongbow.
That Turkish Food Centre is a fantastic shop. Fortunately we only had one small bag with us or we might have spent a fortune.

Old Dispensary is my pub of choice for watching football these days - decent amount of screens and good range of beer. Mixed crowd from old locals to students, too, and never been uncomfortably packed when I've been in either. I was gawping at others' roast dinners when I was in there Sunday - not cheap at £12.95 but a huge plate of food and looked like a proper home cooked roast. Will check out when I'm feeling flush.

The joiners went through a rather meh patch but improved hugely in the last couple of years. I like the live music in the front on Sundays... also the only local pub with room for bands (in the back) but I don't know if they have gigs there.
Not a sports fan but pleased there's a decent place for those who are.

Both Joiners and Old Dispensary have been looking a lot more enticing recently. Will have to pop in to them at some point.
I generally spend most of my wages between The Tiger (open til 03.30 Fri and Sat!) and The Bear (who have started up their roasts again now).

I think we tried to go into The Tiger - is it the pub with all the lampshades behind the bar? - but it was packed.
The Joiners had a band playing in the back room on Saturday night.

Good to know it's doing well. Looked on the ropes when I was living in Camberwell.

Fox on the Hill car park funsters attract complaints after-hours frolics, fornication and fights, aka public nuisance and crime and disorder ... the licence is now under review.
Other pubs round there have had all sorts of trouble - if you like the Fox it's probably worth supporting the application (though I'm not sure how).

I would like to know more about the car park frolics. What are you referring to? What was the objection? It seemed like quite a staid place on the occasions I've been there.

Can get a little frisky outside at chucking-out.
No more than any other pub really. I guess the wrong people got annoyed.
