Marquis of Granby, New Cross, SE14

Large and noisy pub of limited interest much like the beer, just Doom Bar with a turned Atlantic clip. Not for me.

Now this is a pub that I really liked. One might might be put off by the magenta and green painted exterior, but inside it's very traditional with wood-stained fielded paneling on the walls, similarly stained central island bar counter, and normal tables and chairs. There's a pool table at the back on the right, and TVs on the wall showing Champions League football on the evening I visited. The clientele looked to be mainly local regulars. There were a couple of ales on - Doom Bar of course, and Sharp's Atlantic (£3.90 a pint). I didn't see any sign of food, so if they did do food then it clearly wasn't their main business stream. This struck me as a real pub, unlike others I visited in New Cross that were more like restaurants or music venues.

Definitely Irish influenced with a couple of large prints of a turf cutter and a thatcher very prominent as you enter .Rather romanticised take on Ireland.Rather tired and scuffy interior.Three cask beers ,Doombar Sharps Atlantic and Exeter -Falls Over which was very good.

Prominent pub on an angled road junction, with quite an interesting wedged-shaped interior featuring a proper island bar, some dark wood panelling and a number of original windows. Fairly plainly furnished, with limited decor suggesting a previous incarnation as an Irish pub (although the clientele seems now to be mostly students from nearby Goldsmiths). Also has a pool room at the back and a few wooden benches out front. The three active handpumps are rather hidden away on the back part of the counter, but I found Doom Bar, Wainwright and the seasonal Wadworth's Boundary (£3.70) available when I called in.
