Two of us walked around Peckham this morning, my mate is a journo and we took photos, the damage is worse than i thought, Greggs bakers is completely burnt through (may have to be demolished?), so damage from Burger King going up towards ED side. Broken windows, shutters forced, clothes shops, mobile phone shops, supermarkets broken into. There was talk of a gang meeting at the Plough this afternoon and heading down LL making people panic. We drove that way and there was nothing coming down, they headed toward Forest Hill apparently. Don't know the outcome of that yet (anybody?). Lots of people hanging around ED central (waiting?). We offered help in Peckham and ED. Shops are boarding up windows to be cautious and many shops and cafes are closed. Coop was packed and is staying open they have said. The people are great. But please don't make up stories or spread unconfirmed rumours.
