Thanks everyone - I already knew about some of them, but not all of them. I'm interested in anything, songs or music. I often go to Croydon Folk Club and the Court Sessions in Tooting, but had heard of possible Irish sessions in the Croydonish area. Haven't tracked down any that are still going though.

Sorry - I didn't realise that my other half (Essex Girl) had already told you about the Greenwich session - still she's no good at doing clicky maps !

If you're looking for a music (rather than song) session "The Cricketers" in Greenwich has a pretty good one every Tuesday evening. The pub is in the one-way system just up from the "Cutty Sark" in King William's Walk see map.

Error! The Wheatsheaf is now closed. The session has now transferred to The Market Porter also in Borough Market.

There is a good session every Tuesday in The Cricketers in Greenwich and one on the 1st Sunday in the month at The Wheatsheaf in Borough Market (lunchtime) There is also a session (mainly Irish) in The Wooodman, Lee High Road Lewisham every Sunday night.

The Blythe tavern in Catford/Lewisham has impromptu sessions from time to time. There is an occasional monday night one in Thornton Heath and then there is always Croydon folk club at Ruskin House. Used to be one at the Goldsmiths in Penge - don't know if its still going.

Anybody know which pubs have traditional sessions in South London? Specially near Croydon, but not only.
