Wine comes in tumblers here, which tells you everything about the Anchor & Hope's attitude. It's a proper Southwark pub with burgundy walls, mismatched furniture, and no reservations, so the scramble for a table is part of the deal. The food skews modern British and generous, the crowd mixes locals with people who crossed town on purpose, and the whole thing manages to feel like a neighbourhood place that somehow everyone claims as their own.
