hey....don't know if anyone has mentioned these places BUT I love Bar-story in Peckham its under the arches has a really cool laid back vibe, has a Sunday market selling indie things and brick-a-brack! There?s the Amersham arms in New cross some happenings keep an eye on it for worthwhile stuff going on, can be a bit studenty. THEN in Camberwell you've got Hermits Cave which is proper mix of art students, locals and mentalists in a good old fashioned boozer! Also in Camberwell there is the Tiger and the Gran Union. Plus as recently featured on the culture show...The New London Gallery, which is a bar and a gallery. Ooooo and I almost forgot to mention the brilliant Lido in Brockwell park! For swimming and sunshine! I know most of this isn't in ED but to be honest round here (as much as I love it) its more of a yummy mummy than Hoxton hipster. There are loads of lovely places in ED but the ones I've mentioned above are the arty/indie hangouts as far as I know :-)
