Nags Head Peckham

Walk down Rye Lane and you'll find yourself in one of those pubs that feels like it's been pulling pints in exactly the same way for decades. The Nags Head is refreshingly unbothered by trends; it's the sort of place where regulars have their spots and the bartender knows what you're having before you order. You're getting honest beer, honest prices (proper cheap for SE15), and an atmosphere that's genuinely buzzy without trying. It's become something of a bellwether for Peckham's evolution—still rooted in what makes the neighbourhood tick, but increasingly popular with people who've worked out that this is where you actually want to spend an evening.
