Blythe Hill Tavern

A friendly local rooted in the community, this Victorian corner pub has a nationally important historic interior with an interesting three-room layout and 1920s panelling.

The beer garden includes a children's play area, and is abloom with flowers in summer. Always carries an awesome range of ciders and perries which goes a long way towards explaining the pub being one of four finalists for CAMRA's National Cider Pub of the Year competition 2018.

Chandos
56 Brockley Rise, Forest Hill SE23 1LN
This is a large pub with a bar at the front, a large main room to the left and a smaller snug-type room to the right through glazed doors. The pub now does a range of craft beers and serves pizza. At the back of the main room a door leads outside to a small smoking/drinking area. Interesting features include the ornately decorated bar back and some green banded glazing in the windows (ex-Charrington perhaps).
Prince of Wales
52 Perry Rise, Forest Hill SE23 2QL
A 30's mock Tudor building, renovated extensively in 2013. Has a central bar that creates a smallish room on the left and a larger one on the right which leads to a patio garden. Range of live music features. Guest beer sometimes is from local Brockley Brewery. Home cooked food is available from Thursday to Sunday. Ask the landlord about the giant boot on the roof!
Signal
7 Devonshire Road, Forest Hill SE23 3HE
Re-opened after a refurbishment in October 2015, the first of the new Hippo Inns chain of managed pubs, a joint venture between Ei (formerly Enterprise Inns) and Rupert Clevely (founder of Geronimo Inns). The renaming from the Hob to the Signal harks back to its original name of the Railway Signal Hotel. A large, light and airy Victorian pub using mainly pastel shades of decoration, sitting on a high pavement opposite Forest Hill railway station, offering real ale, craft keg beers and an extensive wine list. Inside it is on three wooden floored levels with an L-shaped bar counter on the ground floor which is equipped with 3 handpumps. Upstairs is Georgi's Bar Rotisserie & Grill. Clearly a food orientated venue. To the right hand side is a paved and partly covered outside patio.
