The Montpelier

Head down Choumert Road in Peckham and you'll find The Montpelier doing what a good pub should: serving cold beer, warm hospitality, and food that actually tastes of something. It's the kind of place where regulars prop up the bar and the staff know what they're pouring. The vibe is unpretentious—no craft cocktails or Instagram moments, just honest drinking and eating in a space that feels lived-in rather than designed. This is where you come when you want a proper pint and the sort of company that doesn't require small talk.
