Blythe Hill Tavern - Lewisham

Very welcoming and friendly authentic unspoilt pub. Best in the area by far! Beer is good too! Would highly recommend.

Friends of mine have been raving about this lace for years. I was brought up in NW London (Cricklewood/Kilburn)and remember when every pub had an Irish landlord who dressed in shirt and tie and knew every customer's name and served great Guinness. This is a throwback to those days and I can think of no greater compliment. It's great to visit a pub which is just that; not a pretentious gastropub with eye-watering prices, but a place to meet, to talk and to mingle. Long may it remain so.

…to when so many pubs looked like this, The Blythe Hill Tavern has resisted the temptation to become the same as so many other pubs in London. Nice ‘garden’ space at the back too and a superb selection of beers and ciders.

I am ashamed to say that despite living in SE London for many years I did not know about this pub. It is a lovely old fashioned pub, reasonably priced, great professional bar staff and the best pint of Guinness I have had for ages. My drinking companion sampled a couple of the real ales from the excellent selection on offer and said they were very good. The traditional Irish music session was an unexpected and great bonus. I will definitely be going back.

Have been a few times this year since lock down regulations lifted with friends who are regulars there. Family friendly. Typical old style pub and makes no apologies for it! (Nor should it! Staff have always been friendly and efficient. Can be busy at times as obviously a very popular pub but can usually get a seat in one of the three bar areas but also nice large outdoor seating area. Good selection of drinks (and crisps! Great range of ciders the apple pie one is delicious!
