The Pilgrim Pub

You'll find The Pilgrim tucked away on Kennington Lane, the sort of proper local where regulars know the bar staff's names and the jukebox actually has taste. It's got that unpretentious vibe that's become rarer in London—wooden floors, decent lighting, and the kind of menu that doesn't try too hard but gets the basics spot on. The real draw is the real ale selection and a genuinely friendly atmosphere; this feels less like a destination pub and more like the kind of place you'd stumble into and end up staying for three pints.
