The Gregorian

You'll find The Gregorian tucked away on Jamaica Road in Bermondsey, the sort of pub that doesn't need to shout about itself because the regulars already know what's good. It's got that lived-in feel—dark wood, proper beer taps, the kind of place where the staff remember your usual. The crowd's a genuine mix of neighbourhood types and people who've travelled across the city specifically for what's on offer, which tells you something. Food-wise, it's comfort stuff done right: pies, proper sandwiches, the kind of thing that actually pairs well with a pint rather than fighting it.
