heres the text from that map
The White Hart Hotel
This boozer is frequented by a mixed bag of locals but has lately acquired something of a seedy reputation. Beware also the Millwall hardnuts who swarm in on match days! (4/10)
The Five Bells
Slotting seamlessly in amongst bookies and takeways, this rather intimidatingly blokey retreat has plenty of space for the mainly elderly patrons to rattle around in. (4/10)
The New Cross Inn
Its opulent exterior masks a dingy and ragged interior reminiscent of a grubby student union bar. Hosts regular indie gig nights and quizzes but otherwise, it’s rather unlively. (5/10)
The Marquis of Granby
A no-nonsense, perfectly adequate Irish-themed hangout for various natives. Features Sky Sports, a decent jukebox and pool tables. (8/10)
The Walpole
Appears youthful and edgy on the outside, but inside it’s another story! Offers Thai cuisine and a
student discount, but look out for sozzled old-timers hogging the bar. (6/10)
The Amersham Arms
The best-known and hippest pub in SE14. Features a cosy front bar area, grubby weekend nightclub at the rear and great value roasts and a jumble sale upstairs on Sundays. Comedy nights are most Mondays. (9/10)
The Royal Albert
Hugely popular among local creative types and students, this pub ticks all the right boxes: spacious, comfy interior, chintzy decor, welcoming vibe, good quality food and best of all, its quiz nights on Mondays. (10/10)
Royal George
A great little alternative to the more fashionable pubs in the area, this old-school drinking hole with a charming nautical theme sits hidden among quiet side-streets and serves cheap, quality Samuel Smiths on tap. (8/10)
Goldsmiths Tavern
Beloved of local students, it has been through several incarnations over the years but has lately been a shadow of its former offbeat self. Its new owners will soon relaunch it as the ‘New Cross House’, its original name. (6/10)
The Hobgoblin
Best known locally for its huge beer garden, Thai food and barbecue and its good selection of ales. The clientele is mostly youthful thanks to the student discount, but the atmosphere tends to be hit-and-miss. (7/10)
The Telegraph at the Earl of Derby
Opened in 2009 in a quiet residential area in place of a former dive, this has quickly become a hit with locals who appreciate the smart, spacious new interior and the good selection of continental beers on tap. (9/10)
Skehan’s
Slightly isolated at the fringe of the Telegraph Hill conservation area, this pub is renowned locally for its friendly atmosphere, beer garden and the quality Thai cuisine served in the adjoining restaurant. (8/10)
The Montague Arms
An endearingly ramshackle and eccentric gem with owners who could be your grandparents. Decor is a bewildering blend of taxidermy and nauticalia, the bar sells cheap Samuel Smiths beer and the stage hosts quirky music acts and cabaret. (9/10)
