Set among the tree-lined streets and Georgian terraces of Camberwell Grove, the pub has long held a particular attraction for those in the arts and creative fields; from literary giant John Ruskin in the nineteenth century (after whom nearby Ruskin Park is named), to more recent residents such as Kenneth Branagh and Emma Thompson, who have lived next to the pub itself.

Nearby, Camberwell College of Arts has nurtured some of BritArt's biggest stars, including Tracey Emin and Damien Hirst, whilst the King's College Hospital just round the corner has been used to teach doctors and treat patients since 1913.
