Camberwell Pub
Stunning former pub in Camberwell south London
Abundance of period features with great props
Panelled wooden walls gives gentleman's club ambiance
Kitsch meets baroqueYou are asking, where is this exquisite English spot? Okay, maybe you are NOT asking that but I will tell you anyway!
I found a perfectly lovely website, Airspace, that shows some truly beautiful, classically English spaces. You can click on the style and type of place you would like to see as well as the area...this could be anywhere in England or in Ireland, Italy, other areas of Europe and even Morocco as well. This site is used by those in the movie/TV industry as a source for location shoots.
It is a fun way to wile away a moment or 5.
