Back in Peckham for round two. From the steadfast Olde Apple Tree—the last survivor of Sumner Road’s once-bustling pub scene—to the Red Bull with its Shakespearean mural. Also visited are The White Horse — a pub with roots stretching back to the 18th century, a chess club hangout, and a Sunday roast that locals swear by. The Angel Oak — once a coaching inn and literary landmark, now a modern gastropub with a legendary garden. The Golden Anchor — a trailblazing pub with deep ties to Peckham’s Afro-Caribbean community, dominoes culture, and even a star turn on Chef Tom Kerridge’s Saving Britain’s Pubs.
