Just a small post. There are lots of London pubs that get mentioned all the time and deservedly so but there are also a couple of my favourites that never get talked about... some people have never even heard of them. So I just want to give them a quick mention and recommend that you check them out.
Stormbird, Camberwell
One of my favourite pubs in London. I might be a bit biased because this is my local but why does this never get mentioned by anyone?! One of the best keg ranges in London including Belgian and American beers that I don't see anywhere else in London... do you know anywhere else that has Kwak on tap permanently? The prices are really reasonable, I can't say I've seen pints of Kernel and Beavertown any cheaper anywhere else. It's a very relaxed place with friendly and knowledgeable staff. If you're one of the many people who for some reason have never heard of this place, go and check it out, you'll thank me.
The Ivy House, Nunhead
This has recently re-opened and I first visited it a few months ago but since then it has become a favourite. It's an amazing place, an old music hall with original stage and lovely old wooden panelling... makes for a really cosy setting. The beer selection is good, mainly focusing on local beers with cask ales from breweries such as Brockley, Late Knights, Clarence & Fredricks, all of which are well kept. On keg, regulars inlude Beavertown Gamma Ray and the deliciously quaffable Rocky Head Zen... it's worth going just for that in my opinion.
If you're ever in south east London, I recommend you check these out... they deserve more praise!
