NOTE:Camberwell seems to oscillate unpleasantly between the so-hip-it-hurts types who saw Basement Jaxx playing a house party back in 1996 and the faraway-eyed nutters shambling round the green talking to themselves. The pubs seem to reflect this, ranging from the revoltingly cool (Funky Munky, the Castle) to the simply revolting (the Silver Buckle, anyone?) The Hermit's Cave, however, departs rather boldly from the script, being an excellent place to while away a good few hours without having to talk about cool grafitti or how god the machine runs the universe from the dole office in Peckham. A sane collection of punters enjoy a good range of real ales, decent pub food and a bizarre collection of ornaments sitting above the bar. Has a TV showing sport, but the sound is usually switched off. Very traditional in appearance, charming in outlook, and almost worth coming to Camberwell for.
