| Black Sheep was a pub on Camberwell New Road; it has now closed. As of March 2012 the premises are occupied by a different pub called The Kennington <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/secretlondon/7499576376/ photo]</small>. |
A gentrified pub on Camberwell New Road, nearer [[Locale Oval|Oval]] than [[Locale Camberwell|Camberwell]]. Their web site says there are three of them - one is on Grove Lane in Camberwell, the other in [[Locale Crystal Palace|Crystal Palace]]. |

[[secretlondon]] went here one Sunday in September. They had a pub quiz on (it happens every Sunday apparently), and a young (studenty?) crowd. Once the pub quiz was over they all left leaving half a dozen old men. |

<div class="old_info"> Pub on Camberwell New Road, nearer [[Locale Oval|Oval]] than [[Locale Camberwell|Camberwell]]. They have a sister pub in [[Locale Crystal Palace|Crystal Palace]] (and used to have one on Grove Lane in Camberwell, but this has now closed). |
There was one handpump, a rarity in this part of London, which had Black Sheep Bitter on (£2.70 I think). They also had Hoegaarden (£3.70) <small>([http://www.flickr.com/photos/secretlondon/2876105343 photo])</small> and Staropramen, as well as all the usual lagers. A TV was showing sport with the sound off and a leaflet said that they show football. Once the pump quiz was over they started to play music rather than have the TV sound on. |

It's one of the more gentrified pubs in the area (along with the [[Bear, SE5 0RP|Bear]] further down the road). The interior features dark-varnished wood quite heavily — hardwood floor, chairs and tables. It's not standard-gastro, though, either in food or in decor; the chairs and tables actually match each other, and the tables are a sensible size for smaller groups of 2-4 people. Large windows let the light in at the front, while there's a darker, cosier area towards the back, with four sofas and padded cuboid stools. |
They run happy hours and sell cocktails <small>([http://www.flickr.com/photos/secretlondon/2876950516/ photo])</small>. There are tables outside at the front where you could smoke. There were signs advertising free wireless although I couldn't check this. |

[[Kake]] visited on a Monday afternoon in September 2010. The only real ale available was Black Sheep bitter (£1.75/half) — another pump had the clip (Old Speckled Hen) turned around to indicate it was off. Non-handpump draft options included Amstel, San Miguel, Strongbow, Guinness, Becks Vier, Staropramen, and Hoegaarden. When I arrived around 4pm there were four other customers sitting at the bar chatting with the barstaff. Music was playing, fairly varied stuff from indie to Abba. |
Accessibility: One of the side entrances has no steps, and the front has a ramp and a small step. The toilets were on the same level. |

[[secretlondon]] visited a couple of years earlier, on a Sunday in September 2008. I had a pint of Hoegaarden (£3.70), served in a Tetleys glass <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/secretlondon/2876105343 photo]</small>. They had a pub quiz on (it happens every Sunday apparently), and a young (studenty?) crowd. A TV was showing sport with the sound off and a leaflet said that they show football. Once the pub quiz was over they all left leaving half a dozen old men, and the pub started to play music rather than have the TV sound on. They run happy hours and sell cocktails <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/secretlondon/2876950516/ photo]</small>. There are tables outside at the front where you could smoke. There were signs advertising free wireless although I couldn't check this. A blackboard seen outside in December 2008 advertised a "quick £3 lunch menu" Monday to Friday — not sure if this is still available though. A sign seen in September 2010 warned of a resident "soul and disco" DJ on Friday nights from 8pm. Accessibility: One of the side entrances has no steps, and the front has a steep ramp and a small step. The toilets are on the same level.
