This friendly cabin of an Irish pub has been the haunt of Camberwell's more cultured art students since Leonardo's time, it seems.
Prices are still cheap, the regulars still include old locals who've been skulking around in SE5 since Macmillan told them they'd never had it so good, and the decor is still largely made up of pre-war drinks advertising ('Good Old Murphy's!') and contemporary photography.
Beers might include selections from the Brodie's brewery in Leyton; such French ciders as Pays d'Aude and Fermier (each £6) offer an inappropriately continental alternative. Wine is not a selling point, but the prices are fair: all bottles are £12, with glasses at £4.20.
A large TV in the saloon bar attracts football fans of the laissez jouer variety; conversation around the timeless wooden interior is the definition of bonhomie.

Did you get barred from there or something Peppe?
Best beer around here, as the sign says.
Love this place.
Amazing, atmospheric, no-frills pub where the beers are never bad. Great selection of ciders too. The wines are a bit hit and miss though.
I could not disagree more with Peppe, Hermit's is a fantastic pub with a great selection of beers and other drinks, I highly recommend it!
absolutly crap! Have not been to a worse pub in years. A reminder of the bad old days, drunk middle aged people, from the fringe of Camberwell. My God, thought a place like this would have closed years ago.
