About Phoenix

High-ceilinged station pub with exposed bricks, arched windows, stripped floors and railway clock.

Used to be the ticket hall of the railway station, burned down in 1980. Opened as a pub in 1984 as the Phoenix & Firkin, the chain was bought in turn by Allied and then Bass. In 2000 it became an O'Neill's, renamed again c.2005. Listed brick Victorian railway station building with a nice wrought-iron canopy. Spacious bare-boarded interior with a long bar made from a mahogany tree, high raftered ceiling, a huge station clock (from Llandudno Junction), small gallery at one end accessed via a spiral staircase.

4 handpumps.

Bar staff say closing times during the week is temperamental if business is light.

    Lovely place on a lovely early evening with the sun just on the front warming us on the terrace. It was busy but with enough space to everyone, a lot of beers and IPa’s to choose with a good choice of meals with reasonable prices considering we are in London. I can just recommend and will be back for sure!

    I cannot help but feel absolutely blown away by this pub. What a fantastic, chilled, well curated environment. The decor is great, although the grey paint, although very popular in pubs, I find disappointing. The general vibe is welcoming and certainly relaxing, with (when I dropped by at 2pm on a Friday) Reggae softly drifting through though the air. The strikingly beautiful lady who served me was helpful and friendly. The beer selection is OUTSTANDING, I chose the Beavertown Satellite which I cannot recommend enough, it was well presented and cold. Overall, a spectacular experience and one…

    Very nice weeknight meal here in Camberwell. The online order system is very easy and convenient. The steak and ale pie and the fish and chips were delicious, as were the cocktails. The gravy for the pie was particularly good. The sticky toffee pudding was perhaps the best I had in London.

    Located within the station building, it has a good selection of wine and beers. Although we didn't eat judging by the number of full tables it's very popular.

    The wife and Invisited The Phoenix on the 29th of May after a hospital appointment. I have a French dip and fires, and she had the seafood pasta. My French Dip was very tasty, and I would order again. My only criticism would be that the dipping gravy be served in a bigger pot.
