"The Old Nun’s Head is a great community pub in the heart of Nunhead—you’ll know you’ve finally made it as a local when your dog’s picture is displayed on the Polaroid hall of fame. If you can’t get a seat indoors, there’s plenty of outside seating at the front and back. Licked Kitchen serves hungry locals American diner-style dishes like burgers and loaded fries, but it’s worth coming for a Sunday roast. The meat is great and well-sourced, there are good vegetarian and vegan options, and all come with lashings of gravy." - rachel rumbol
