I'm in my 30s now but think there's a few decent places. Sylvan Post owned by Antic is a sign that the area is attracting a younger crowd looking for cheaper rent. The crowd is usually a bit younger in there but still 30s ish. They've bought a bunch of places in the SE in fact and they're very canny at snapping up pubs usually in areas becoming more 'cool'.

There's not really loads of clubs about. O'Neils / Bridge bar in Beckenham, Venue in New Cross. The Overground line is great though for getting to cool spots (New Cross, Dalston, Whitechapel, Camden, Shoreditch, Etc).

I guess how easy you meet like minded social 20 year olds may depend on how outgoing you are!

By the way, I think Michael is spot on. With all the students at Camberwell and Goldsmiths there are places not too far away with much to offer.
