Wow, the Hermits, how many nights I have spent in this place I do not know. I've lived in…read moreCamberwell for four years and this is the place we always come back to. It's a winner with everyone. I think because it has charm. It's a proper old fashioned London boozer; old photos on the walls, a selection of ales, wooden floors, bar and furniture, frosted windows â" all that malarkey and a completely unpretentious feel. Everyone likes it, which is evident from the mixed bag of people you get inside which only adds to its appeal. Unlike some of my friends who cannot fault the place, my problem is the lighting; I think it's too bright and wish they'd just unscrew a few of the bar lights to make it more inviting and true to its namesake. I am also disappointed by the prices which seem to be rising slowly but surely. This is not a cheap option despite its looks. Summer nights are best the Hermits when the punters spill out onto the pavements, but equally a winter evening is great, curled up inside with one of the many warm beverages on offer - a hot toddy or mulled wine is always best in an old-fashioned pub. Word of warning: If you order a Brothers cider, there is a festival and normal version and the festival one is about 4% stronger!

That said, come the summer it sells slushy cider a half-pint of Westons with enough ice shavings in it to turn it into a boozey Slush Puppie. I'd meant to try this for ages, and it was absolutely delicious. I'm sure I've had Westons before, but for some reason this one tasted almost exactly like balsamic vinegar (which I love, but was slightly unexpected). It's a nice, airy pub with plenty of big cosy tables and places to squash into, but if I were going out, I'd still make a beeline to somewhere like the Stormbird or the Tiger first.

But when the sun is shining and you can spill outside it becomes a classic - with the Pantiles as its very own beer garden! The various levels of the precinct serve as long benches and the lack of traffic makes it both peaceful and somewhat removed from the hustle & bustle of everyday TW. On a hot summers evening this is a beautiful place, you could even think you were abroad on holiday. 'Nuff said!

I happened to get here the first time because my usual pub, a few minutes away, was fully packed for a big rugby match. The atmosphere was pretty welcoming and relaxed, the TV screen are quite dated, making it a fantastic venue for those not too interested in watching a bunch of guys running for a ball or, even worse, trying to hit it with a bat. Since then, this became our regular place with true customers and a guaranteed seat (hopefully this review will end up among the non-recommended ones).

They've got some good beers here, from the local area too. As well as the relatively well known Summer Lightening there were a couple of tasty beers from the Surry Hills brewery (Greensand IPA and Ransmore). There is a big garden outside and the negatives are few. The tables are a bit tightly packed together and probably require a lot of customer rearrangement when busy. Toilets could do with improvement too.

Well-kept ale and a lovely beer garden, plus a heated outdoor tent area for smokers add to the appeal. They have been know to project Wii games on a 27 ft screen in the back garden in summer. Random fancy dress parties seem to occur for no reason. No hot food at the moment but they have a truly stunning selection of English cheeses.

No music but usually plenty of chatter in the evenings, this place can be near-silent at lunchtime apart from a warm welcome from the staff. Thankfully, this is just how I like to escape from a busy office. A fairly spartan interior is backed up by interesting historic photos of the local area. The full range of Timothy Taylor's is well-kept and the Sunday roasts are well worth the trip. The potato and leek soup is just the ticket for warming you up on a cold day.

How does that work? Very simple really - we were charged for the bbq gas, but they were happy to let us use their bbq as long as we brought our own food to cook on it, and bought our drinks from the pub! How amazing is that (and pretty much unheard of for a London pub). In addition, the bar staff was very friendly, had some good cask ales available, and the back garden was lovely. For a hot summer night in Clapham, the Eagle would be a great choice for a relaxing time. If they had a less mainstream lager on tap it would be even better, but it was a great time regardless.
