Prince of Peckham is a lively Black-owned pub in South London, bringing together classic British pub culture, Caribbean flavors, music and community in the heart of Peckham.
Owned by Clement Ogbonnaya, Prince of Peckham was inspired in part by Desmond’s, the beloved 1990s Black British sitcom set in a Peckham barbershop. Like its inspiration, the pub was created as more than simply somewhere to eat and drink—it’s a social and cultural gathering place where locals and visitors come together over food, music and good times.
For travelers looking to experience Black-owned London beyond the usual tourist attractions, Prince of Peckham offers a taste of contemporary South London culture in one of the city’s most diverse neighborhoods.
Prince of Peckham puts a Caribbean spin on the traditional London pub experience, with jerk-inspired dishes, plantain and other bold flavors alongside pub favorites.
Pair your meal with a cold beer, rum cocktail or one of the bar’s creative mixed drinks. Whether you’re stopping in for food, meeting friends for drinks or settling in for an evening out, the atmosphere is casual, social and unmistakably Peckham.
London has no shortage of pubs, but Prince of Peckham brings a distinctly modern, multicultural energy to Britain’s famous pub tradition.
The neighborhood hotspot regularly comes alive with DJs, live entertainment, comedy, parties and community events, transforming from a relaxed daytime gathering place into a high-energy South London nightlife destination.
Its emphasis on music, culture and community has helped make Prince of Peckham a popular meeting place and a distinctive part of Peckham’s social scene.
Prince of Peckham is owned by entrepreneur Clement Ogbonnaya, whose vision was to create an inclusive neighborhood pub reflecting the people, culture and energy of the surrounding community.
Today, it stands as a notable example of Black-owned hospitality in London—a place where Caribbean influences, Black British culture and the traditional neighborhood pub come together under one roof.
